@ccbdav I really REALLY don't want to start a flame war but it's nearly ironic you telling people to stop being political whilst virtually downgrading Mexicans to primates.... no sorry that's an understatement, I imagine most primates even know what drones are at this point. The man was from Mexico not Mars, some kind of customs official none the less, I am pretty certain he didn't see the drone and think hmm I should attack it with a stick before it destroys Mexico. I don't know what you think Mexico is but you know they even have cars and TV'S there now right? Being from England I do not have any racial or political agenda against Mexicans, AT ALL, If it happened in Jamaica or Poland I would have said the same thing, that being the OP was lucky and he nearly got hustled. I have been to Mexico a few times, the corruption of its officials is no secret, and I have openly bribed law enforcement officials on a few occasions. Back to your theory, perhaps he was scared of the drone and the danger it posed to the people of Mexico and indeed did think it was some kind of nuclear device capable of, how you so aptly put it, "eradicating most of Mexico City's population", tell me, would it then make sense for him to stash It in "a cabinet in his office"?
