Those boys in Frankfurt have always been zealous ... many years before 9-11,
I went through there with a large travel-case packed with computer
paraphernalia, including a protocol analyzer and some 9-track tapes; plus my
usual suitcase of clothes, etc. Was very tired (it had been a long trip),
so when they asked me if there was any electronic equipment in my suitcase,
it never dawned on me that they meant the travel case !
I was hustled by some armed, burly men to a very small building some
distance out on the tarmac from the airport, and put in a room with my
travel case and a very nervous looking guard on the other side of a 2" thick
Plexiglas wall. Then told (by loudspeaker) to open the case and show the
contents to the guard.
After that, they chided me for holding up the plane !
