> I'd then go to the airport another day...

Look at what is happening in Kabul. This is very unrealistic.

Actually, there have been interviews in.. wapo, I think it was, where folks (with valid papers), did exact that, and missed being hit by a bomb by a few hours.

Also, they seemed more concerned that the huge crowds of people without papers made it impossible to get through with their papers, then the Taliban finding them with papers.

The other report I read (in FT) was an American / Afgani citizen that kept putting off going until someone drove her to a spot where she was then helicoptered to the airport.

In short, even with the limited information we have, it seems the situation is a lot more dynamic and complex then the simple hypothetical proposed.

Some American reporters (LA Times) got beat up because they wore local dress and had enough melanin that they were mistaken for a local. Then another Taliban apologized for the mistake, offered them an energy drink and a ?friendly? ride, which they turned down.
