BTW, when you were visiting Iran, did you happen to see Basij beating people in the streets? I'm pretty confident that the tourist sites you visited did not include Evin prison.
[Mods, please feel free to take down this post along with other such "political" commentary. Posts about the practicality of travel to Iran (e.g., getting a visa, safety when there, etc.) ought not be counted as "political."]

Winding up in a political prison is a very "practical" aspect of traveling to Iran which should definitely be discussed on FT. Posters discuss things like being able to shop, eat, obtain lounge entrance, etc in various airports in different countries. The possibility of being imprisoned and tortured in different countries, when it's a distinct possibility, is way more important, so why should FT want to keep such info from frequent flyers?
