- I don't know about the people at border crossings, but I've had fun with
- both income tax agents and airport security personnel--I was one
- spontaneously serenaded by the staff of an IRS office (it was so cute,
- even if they were a bit off-key), and I had a delightful experience once
- with an airport security person in Detroit who mistook me for some
- famous football player (though I do regret that I never found out just
- who he thought I was).
