Re: PESO: The last time I saw Paris

Don't know about any bribery, I'm guessing that was after you passed over into Mexico. I visited Mexico City in 1976 & saw occasional militarized police on the streets then. Thinking about it, the only unusual thing in Dan's photo is that the soldier was alone. Usually there's at least two

Re: PESO: The last time I saw Paris

Never seen 'em around here. I think people in these parts are more heavily armed than the armed forces, or so it seems. Traveling to Mexico on vacation many times in my life we always would encounter road stops with heavily armed military guys that would ask you where you were going and might

Re: PESO: The last time I saw Paris

That's mainly due to the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits using the military for domestic law enforcement. The soldiers deployed to America's airports after 9/11/2001 came from the National Guard. The governor of the state *can* use the National Guard in that manner. I was on airport duty

Re: PESO: The last time I saw Paris

You must not have been traveling much right after 9/11. National Guard with M16, (full size, not carbines), and dogs were in the oddest places at the Airports I traveled through. On 5/2/2017 4:55 PM, Gonz wrote: That was the thing that I found most distinct about European airports, there

Railway stations here too. I was at Waterloo with a friend a couple of weeks ago, advising her to kill her husband, when I noticed three cops carrying automatic weapons and sidearms listening right behind me. So I said, "...and maybe one of these gentlemen would like to help you". > On 2 May

That was the thing that I found most distinct about European airports, there were military guys walking around with automatic weapons like this everywhere. I've never seen that in the US. On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 3:28 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > There were heavily armed

Re: PESO: The last time I saw Paris

There were heavily armed military personnel all over Paris when we were there, in early April. Shortly after we returned, a terrorist shot a policeman on the Champs-Élysées, wounding a woman tourist. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Tue, May 2, 2017 at 3:07 PM,
