Is it wise to pretend to be Christian to safely travel through the US? @LJ2: which isn't much different from the case in Poland (except there is no KKK). What I'm saying, that consequences are lot less likely to be lethal or even physically violent |

Is it wise to pretend to be Christian to safely travel through the US? @gerrit: I'd say similar in terms of tolerance, however difference is that in rural US they are armed to their teeth, while Poland is one of the countries with the least firearms per capita. Also murder rate and violent crime rate in US is 5 times higher than in Poland. So in Poland you'd risk getting insulted, not being shot at. |

Are there any US laws that a US citizen MUST obey while traveling, even if those laws do not exist in the country he is traveling to? @jwenting: I'm quite sure, that should the plane overflying Dutch airspace be eg. hijacked, it would be intercepted by Dutch fighters, forced to land in Dutch airport and dealt with by Royal Dutch Marechaussee. |

What are the practical implications for the flag of a ship? I'd add to that protection against pirates. For example ships flying Dutch flag are not allowed to have armed guards on board. |

Why would you wrap your luggage in plastic? I meant they are legally allowed to check any bag (in theory for security threats, in practice for valuables). And they have legal right to open it without your supervision. Stealing part obviously isn't legal. |

Why would you wrap your luggage in plastic? In USA, doesn't TSA have right to open any bag anyway? And then steal all they want? |

How to use trekking clothes? @mithy: there are materials that are waterproof and breathable. But yeah, microfiber trousers would do... |

How to use trekking clothes? Well, backpacks I've used were made from heavy duty Cordura with waterproofing, so I didn't worry so much about rain. OTOH, the Forclaz 60, as mentioned in it's description is not waterproof at all. One more thing you should take in account for poncho covering backpack vs separate backpack cover -- unless your jacket has proper hardened patches on shoulders, it's likely to start leaking where backpack shoulder straps touch it. |
