Although I had to line up to collect the Hair Dressing scissors which were taken from me at London Heathrow. Had to queue up behind all these big blokes collecting hunting knives and AK45s etc. HA !
However, the same year (1982 & Saddam in full power) the lady customs officers at Baghdad Airport departures took my nail polish remover off me (fair enough) and wanted to confiscate my casette of home recorded Golden Oldies!
I fought them over that one - and they eventually let me keep it. Goodness knows what they thought I'd recorded on it to take home to UK.
