We brought two cats back from Bolivia (long story) and altho we were required to have paperwork, no one looked at the cats, the paperwork, or the cat carrier coming thru security or customs. Exception - every little kid in the airport had to look at the cats.

Before 9/11, my brother had been hired by Argenbright, the company that did the security for Logan. His main asset was that he is huge. He was being paid minimum wage and was let go for "moving around too much"

So when 9/11 happened he was not at all surprised. Argenbright no longer does security for Logan.
