I guess those police look like the military because of what they might encounter.

Speaking of Volkswagen pickups from Mexico, I spotted this one, at the local Costco two days ago. It's got kind of a funny name too:  Amarok. It's about Tacoma or Colorado sized. I would think it would share a lot of components with Volkswagen's big SUV, so I wonder why they don't sell it here?

No doubt, I am not a gun guy, I tried to take a close up of the gun the one cop was holding, my son is a gun fanatic, he recognized the gun in the close up pic, its a fully automatic machine gun.

It is crazy to see, culture shock if you will, when you see stuff like this. Makes you appreciate home.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride! -Hunter S. Thompson

I spent enough time down there from 07-10 in the non tourist parts that I got very used to it.  But on the topic of guns, last week at work on our passenger manifest doing the middle east stuff that I do, we had a list of each gun model on board. I've never seen a broken down list like that before.

I cannot imagine the amount of hardware you are carrying to the ME.

Something else recently that made me laugh after doing passenger airlines for a decade.  I opened the closet near the forward galley to grab by bag to swap crews while troops stayed on board. Opened the closet and there was a box full of knives they made them turn in. I guess they got them back at the end of the flight. Not locked up, not confiscated, just conveniently up front lol.
