I've said it before, but I don't expect everybody to agree with what we do. It's a necessary evil. When I was in the Army, I was told that I had to sacrifice my freedom to preserve it for others. I've sacrificed my freedom before, and I really don't think it's asking too much of passengers to sacrifice a little of their own freedom to ensure the safety of themselves as well as others.

You think our checkpoints are bad? We had a Serbian woman come through our checkpoint not too long ago and she was in hysterics and crying. Shaking too. We took her to the side and after she calmed down a little, she said that it wasn't us she was afraid of. She was just having flashbacks of the horrors of other checkpoints she had been through in her life.
