More grist for the never-fly-anywhere-you-don't-absolutely-have-to mill, courtesy NYT staff writer Joe Sharkey:

"At the police headquarters, we were required to write on a sheet of paper our names, addresses, birthdates, occupations and levels of education, plus the names of our parents. We were all also required to submit to an examination by a physician with long hair who wore a white gown that draped almost to his shins.

We were required to strip to the waists for photographs front and back.This, explained the physician, whose name I did not get but who described himself to me as a 'forensic doctor,' was to prove that we had not been tortured 'in any way.'"
