As promised, here's a true story about Swedish Customs. As you know, in
|
|
Sweden they take their drugs seriously. Beer is so expensive you need a
|
|
mortgage to get drunk, and Narco Cops grab suspicious people off the
|
|
streets and subject their bodily fluids to tests to determine if they
|
|
are criminals or not. Sweden has a particularly high suicide rate.
|
|
|
|
Eric was going to a Swedish Juggling Convention. His VW Campervan was
|
|
full of beanbags, clubs, rings, jugglers ... the usual juggling
|
|
paraphenalia. He also had some grass, some hash, a few trips, and a
|
|
little cocaine. Eric didn't know that the Swedes are fanatical about
|
|
drugs, did he? He also didn't know there was a British football team
|
|
playing in the country, and because the border guards thought his mob
|
|
were British football fans he'd get thoroughly searched.
|
|
|
|
His description of the search always cracks me up. The guards moved his
|
|
van into a little barn off to one side, and started stripping everything
|
|
out. "They kept saying 'Hurdy Gurdy football?' When they understood what
|
|
all the juggling kit was for they started saying 'Hurdy Gurdy Circus?'
|
|
a lot instead. They didn't find the stash, though. We were all tripping
|
|
at the time but I don't think we would have understood them even if we
|
|
were straight."
|
|
|
|
I won't list the tiny nooks and crannies that he used to hide his stash,
|
|
but this does illustrate how difficult to stop someone from taking drugs
|
|
across a border, even if the country has a positively rabid anti-drug
|
|
policy.
