Mexico Vacation Epilogue
---
I have only today realized that my digital camera was stolen out of my checked bag.
Bummer.
I'm glad I moved all the pictures onto my laptop before I left Mexico City. Just goes to show what a greedy capitalist bastard I am (not!) -- I care more about the (no monetary value) pictures than the (high monetary value) camera.
Am I being too ethnocentric in assuming it was the Mexican security staff rather than the American TSA who stole it? You have no idea (mainly because I didn't want to blog about it) how much scamming and fraud I saw while I was there, from taxi rides to buying chewing gum. And the arriving airport staff have no reason to open bags anyway other than customs (and I wasn't searched by them anyway).
As the song goes: "Chapter read and lesson learned..."
POST SCRIPT: What song is that? NO GOOGLING! I would hope the law school students among my readership know it, because it's a great law school student song.
Bummer.
