First time I heard of them I thought "wow Orwell was right he was just a 
bit early with the year".

But i did get a nice (preprinted) note from them after getting back from 
my recent trip to the US which explained that they decided to remove the 
padlock from my bag (with bolt cutters) and have a damn good root around 
in my used underwear and socks for security reasons (not a job I envy 
them). Better not say anything else as they have my photo and 
fingerprints and i don't want to spend a spell in room 101.
