I don't know if you've ever changed flights in the U.A.E., but I once saw a shocking event in Dubai...
The whole place was like one, tacky, horrible gold market, and everywhere were airport security guards, with fully automatic rifles. As I browsed the blood gems and gold, in those gaudy airport shops, I thanked God I was an American, and could fully appreciate the exchange rate related to the value of gold on the stock exchange.
What a wonderful place, really!
The only fly on the ointment was when one woman pushed her way to the front and started complaining. Well, that uppity woman nearly delayed my flight, and she never did get her daughter's passport back, even though she was from a different country.
I think they operate some kind of federal system over there. Anyhow, it seems to work.
