With food poisoning symptoms just beginning to subside an 8
hour bus ride back to Nairobi was not on the order for the day. So we flew…
We wrote our names on a piece of paper, paid in cash, got
our tickets and entered the airport. We walked through security. We walked onto
the plane. Not once was I asked to show
my ID. Not once.
I had a wine bottle opener in my carryon luggage which I had
forgotten about. The security opened my bagged, helped up the corkscrew and
ask, “Is this for the captain?” What? He then imitated jabbing the corkscrew
into his throat to demonstrate how I might kill the captain. He laughed and
returned the corkscrew to me saying, “Next time just put it in your checked
bag.”
Is this place for real? I just got on a plane, paying cash,
without showing any identification, with a deadly weapon in my backpack. Wha??

Absolutely hillarious story....I can't believe that there was no ID required and they let you keep the deadly stabbing device...oh man! Well I hope you are enjoying yourself...ttys.
