Our first stop is in Zurich just to transfer planes to get to Rome. This had to be the fastest customs ever though Mary thinks that it was just passport control. Regardless, we were through within minutes. And I got my passport stamped. Proof, proof I say that I was here!
We had to go through a security checkpoint again before heading to our gate. It is much simpler and much faster than the ones in the US. Very much all business, scan bags and everyone goes through a metal detector. For me, it was a bit more since the rivets in my pants tripped the metal detector. I was immediately led to a screening booth where a guy used a handheld wand to check me. Every time he went passed a rivet the wand would beep. Seeing that, he did a very thorough frisk of my waist band, groin and legs. He was not at all worried about offending, just strictly business. As soon as he was done, he waved me on through with a "have a nice day."
While SFO doesn't charge for wifi access, Zurich airport does. So posting this will have to wait until I can find free wifi access.
