I had to use MR to explain a short stay
I agree - it does not make sense to bring up MR on a turnaround flt. However, sometimes the local airlines staff or immigration authorities question you on the short turnaround (they are used to intnl pax staying at least a day or catching a connectin flt not the same flt back). Hence my advice about explanation of MR rather than get strip searched for a drug search or become a terror suspect.
