Bugger - you've sussed me!

No - the security to enter the building. They didn;t have that when I was there, that said my last visit to SVO1 was about 2001.

One thing that did amuse me on my trips to Russia was when I was going to a nightclub in Novosibirsk. The clinentel was basically a third mafia, a third hookers and a third students. Oh, and me.

Despite the metal detectors on the way in I saw more than a few guns.

edit - and one thing I remember more than the guns is that on my way back to the my hotel, across a park, I managed to fall over, on the exceedingly slippy path, 6 times. I had a bruise on my hip for 6 months. The vodka was cheap though.
