Funny story on how bureaucracies work - coming back from Iraq, I had to go through "customs" in Kuwait. It was military, and the Navy ran most of that. I'm not sure if the cat was a contractor, GS civilian or Navy, but I forgot to pack several empty M9 (Beretta 92F) magazines in my checked bags.
They already had my checked bags, so I had to leave them (those were extra I found, so I wasn't signed for them anyway). I just always found it funny that I could bring the ACTUAL M9 on the charter flight, but no empty magazines. I mean, I put the M9 on the conveyer belt and they handed it back to me on the other side of the metal detector, but I couldn't bring the little aluminum box that might hold ammunition for the weapon some day...

I went through our brigade "customs" before leaving Afghanistan. I had to empty out my duffles bag after just packing them only to pack them up again. I didn't realize it until several months later but I had a full m4 magazine on that flight home that customs didn't see.
