Haji admitted its possession at incoming customs, but refused to produce it, so was sent home. Africans may not send men to the Moon, but they can be very strict when someone flouts their immigration laws. Besides, what are they supposed to do? Let him pass without hindrance? General advice: never irritate an African official. They take their authority seriously and never permit it to be disrespected.

Deportation by Kenya just may come in handy in the near future.
