	That's about crossing borders to another country. I think
that's reasonable. Lots of criminals try to avoid prosecution by
crossing borders .... over 100 of Bolsonaro's followers fled to the
US. I have no idea how they got permits, most of them do not work, and
many of them are criminals linked to drugs trafficking, prostitution,
money laundering and contraband.

	I mean being searched to travel in your own country.... that
should not happen in a "free" country.

	Well, I used to have to travel by plane.
	When traveling in Brazil I prefer 1) A train - if available.
There are very few passenger trains left
	2) A bus. They are usually comfortable and have air
conditioning.
	3) Ugggh a plane

	That's if I have transport on the other end. If I don't, I
just drive there. Trouble is, I'm getting too old to drive. The most I
can stay awake is about 12 hours. Then I just curl up and go to sleep.
I've woken up in a stalled car twice in the last 10 years....
