Several years ago, we traveled to Australia to do the Sydney-Hobart Race. As we were going through customs and immigration in Sydney in our US sailing garb, the screening official said: Oh, you're here to take our trophy away from us? I thought, oh no this is going to lead to a cavity search. Fortunately the crew mate that was with me was a senior US customs official and after trading some US patches and badges with her, we passed through without issues. He said that she was amazing and that I had no idea what she was really asking. He wished that he had more employees like her. They're trying to do a great job in difficult times.
