That's a law?

I've always found it fascinating how the rules and regulations of airports work.

Specifcally, when it comes to customs. You probably don't know this, but as soon as your on the other side of customs, after the padding, the passports and the x-rays, your no longer in your original country. Yup, your now in a tiny country with absolutely no centralised government.

Fortunately, the government of the country that surrounds the countriles void once set down regulations for airports so that they still have to follow the laws of the country - So no, you don't have to worry about getting stabbed and your attacked not being charged because it technically didn't happen in the country.

However, even so, this does raise an interesting point. Technically, as long as said airport follows the laws of the country, they can come up with whatever sort of laws they want for their own little private paradise - and it all comes into affect when you cross the border.

You could be prosecuted for having a red handbag.

It's really possible...
