travel clearances today

My project stuff has reached Madrid this morning, now in customs... DHL has done a comparable job to FedEx in getting the shipment in-country, now I'll see who does better at local clearance and delivery.

Speaking of clearances, I'm going to be stuck all day in a State Dept.-run all-day counterintelligence and security class, taught one-on-one, required because I'll be abroad >30 days. I have no idea how they're going to fill the day...

so far today...

Morning units:
"Terrorism 101"
"Improvised Explosive Devices"
"Surveillance Detection: how to keep from becoming a victim"

Back to the classroom...

Afternoon units:
"Kidnap and Hostage Survival"
"Weapons of Mass Destruction"
