I take it this thread is about traveling to Zim from Australia. Sorry to hear that it is such trouble and possibly not feasible.

So I guess I shouldn't complain about the TSA here in the U.S. breaking my ammunition box open on our return home, even though I had declared it and told the TSA guy in Chicago that my ammunition was in my second bag in a locked box.

To their credit, they did slip a form into my bag, which included an apology about the possible need to break locks to ensure safety, in my own best interest, blah blah blah...

50 bazillion dollars on security scanners and everything else under the sun, but we are gong to break open your locks anyway.

When your government destroys your private property (even a $10.00 lockbox) and tells you that it's for your own good, there is definately something wrong.

Not Democrat vs. Republican, or Liberal vs. Conservative, but government completely out of control, which they would probably tell you is in your best interest anyway.
