Yeah, my wife went over there as an invited speaker at a conference
on
neonatal genetic disorders and how to detect them. Same crap. She
got
targeted by the so-called random search routine, had her luggage
pulled
apart, etc etc. Like a late 40-y/o Australian professional woman
going
to an international conference is likely to be a terrorist - suuure.
The 'random search' routine apparently stays with you, too, because
she
got checked over every time she went thru an airport.

Guess where she's not going again? She's just been over in China
advising them on how to set up a neonatal screening lab and the IAEA
is
hiring her to set up another lab in the Philippines. Got a list of
publications a mile long and gets treated like crap in the USA.
China
was a piece of cake and the Filipinos always look after her really
well
- we set up their first screening lab back in 1997, I did the
software
& hardware, she did the training and lab setup.
