What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas....?

I worked in the UAE at remote desert sites during 1980, 1981, 1984, 1985 but went to sharjah, dubai, abu dhabi on occasions. Our crew had alcohol which we bought with a permit each month. Never had a problem there as long as you abide by the rules which are spelled to you. I once came through customs with a penthouse magazine which was confied. The guy looked at my pport and knew I had been in country multiple times and told me I should know better. End of story that time.
