Doesn't it make more sense that the bag just blew on top of the camera?

This vehicle is classified as an enclosed motorcycle, so does not have to meet many of the requirements that you might think of for a full-sized car.

Icelandic tourist to US held for two days, shackled, deported -- over a ten-year-old visa mistake

I am really disgusted by the flavor of several of these posts. They are absolutely confirming all of the worst stereotypes foreigners have of Americans, as well as those I hold as a fellow American. Defensive, ignorant, racist crap that demeans us all. The notion that not only visitors and immigrants should be treated like crap, but that anyone even suspected of a crime should be demeaned and humiliated because "they deserve it." We really have fallen a long way from the days of Jefferson and notions of equal rights for ALL mankind.

I am always fascinated by accounts of travelers to foreign lands and this was a particularly enjoyable read. I liked the analogy to a starship as I have begun to think of foreign cultures as truly alien in ways that we rarely accept. "We're all human" the saying goes, but that doesn't mean we begin to understand each other and all the more so someone who is from half a world away. I absolutely love travel and cannot recommend it enough. If nothing else, it allows me to become that space faring hero of comic inspiration that can go and explore the exotic landscapes and find love in the arms of a beautiful alien woman ;).
