When they start to hassle you, pull out your US passport, show them page one where it is issued from the Secretary of State, then flip to page 6 "Tips for Travelers" and point to number 6. "Do not leave luggage unattended or accept packages from strangers."
We loyal airborne foot soldiers in the Waw on Tewwow must follow direct orders from Commander Condi!
Without the Passport quote, this is exactly what she did.
She told the man, "We are not supposed to accept items from strangers."
He said, "That's just for the general public, you can take this from me."
She replied, "I am the general public." He made a goofy face and she walked away.
