We arrived in England for a Rev. War event. (back in the 80s) One of our dragoon's luggage had been broken into and everything was laying out on the baggage collection area for ANYONE TO walk away with... when we inquired as to why, one agent was happy to tell us, knowing who we were, some of the chaps just wanted to see the gear...
