No, that particular award goes to the UK. Usage rates for injected drugs in Switzerland have been dropping ever since they started controlled distribution.

Apparently, American Tourister is the most popular bag among drug mules!

I have all three of the above and travel with just a (large, but still carry-on sized or smaller) backpack. The first time I was stopped was from AMS, so I figured that was it, but I've since been stopped from other european airports, and domestically.

Fortunately, being gay, I don't mind being felt up by some of the male screeners, but can I please plead with TSA to get some younger and more interesting types -- then I can at least have a little more fun while getting felt up. It's irritating to deal with, but at least then I might be able to enjoy the process a bit more.
