Visitor’s Guide To North Korea Published


A French travel guru just issued info on how to enjoy a trip to one of the most dangerous destinations in the world. Your travel4seniors.com editor can attest to the reputation from experiences in the early 1950s as a member of a reactivated U.S. Navy Carrier Air Group during the Korean War.

They lethally hated Americans then and still do, as tragically proved recently when they imprisoned and tortured young student Otto Warmbier to death. Other jailed American travelers have suffered similar brutal treatment. Yet some, such as that clueless, bejeweled retired basketball pro, still go to North Korea despite U.S. State Department warnings to stay away.

Here’s a suggestion for seniors who insist on traveling to North Korea. When getting off your flight there, just turn around and kiss your butt goodbye.
Opinion: Don’t Smart-Ass Test Airport Security PDF Print E-mail


A recent news item reported that a young guy in a wheelchair deliberately went through security successfully with banned items in his bag. He used a hidden camera to show how he brought metal tools and bottled water.

This very old travel4seniors.com writer frequently must use a wheelchair in airports, and believes that kind of stupid joke is beyond unfunny. It creates added problems for all physically-challenged passengers who cannot walk aboard their flights. Now that the guy’s offense has been revealed worldwide, airport security personnel are in increased states of alert. They will more thoroughly search every wheelchair and its occupant. This means wasted time, inconvenience and unnecessary physical requirements for us.

Of course, airport security isn’t perfect, but it’s totally wrong for amateur jokers to challenge it. For those of us who require wheelchairs, but don’t need more problems, we ask that only qualified professionals monitor all security procedures.
