Firstly, have a great time Rokenn!! Good for you! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] So are you there for business or leisure? Want some sight-seeing tips?
Anyway, like Magik said: just be polite. They're just doing their job. If you are picked to be searched, there's little you can do about it but at least you'll know it wasn't anything you did.
I honestly can't understand people who grump about all the time anyway. In the stores, at the airport, on the street. And it *IS* a vicious circle. If you believe that rudeness gives you a right to be rude back, where will that lead you? Seriously! My best defense is a sickeningly sweet smile and a just ever so slightly sarcastic "have a wonderful day". It may not cure their grumpyness, but at least it won't worsen it like being rude at them will. [img]smile.gif[/img]
