Where are these guards? Oh, just at every checkpoint in the former Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc and anywhere else freedom of movement is restricted for whatever reason. I've not personally had to use it for passage, but have heard those who have, speak of it with great certainty and experience. We used to have a black marketer from the former Soviet Union speak candidly to us over on the Prodigy threads in the good old days...his accounts were riveting, and I'm rather certain his number is legion. If you are carrying gold, you do not go through an "airport metal detector with the stuff. You do it a little smarter than that...yes, completely legal, and completely private. As a dealer, I'm supposed to report "suspicious money source type- transactions," but have to rely, of course, on what I am told, which makes it hearsay about where I think the money to purchase the gold quantities comes from. Owning gold is legal in USA. So, I have nothing to worry about as a dealer, either buying or selling. I'm not an attorney, nor am I an employee of the IRS...they are responsible for the legal splitting of hairs. If I sense nothing is wrong, or believe the story I'm told about where the money comes from, I'm off the hook. I keep records, but I'm not required to 1099 anyone for their gold purchases. Thanks, I'm glad you asked your questions.
