I don't have my passport with me, but it seems like I got a transit stamp in Frankfurt a few years ago too when I didn't even leave the airport, but that may just be my failing memory. I definitely got the full German TSA treatment, but then that happens pretty much everytime I fly to or from the Middle East.Brnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242601851481279077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-43788005069035034922014-04-13T21:34:00.846-04:002014-04-13T21:34:00.846-04:00China definitely stamps passports, but Hong Kong s...China definitely stamps passports, but Hong Kong stopped stamping just last year. <br /><br />Despite not stamping, Hong Kong definitely still meticulously examines it and collects arrival/departure cards.<br /><br /><br />haven't been to Europe in many years, but I have many frankfurt and czech stamps in my passport.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706375351999428103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-11317199241950508842014-04-13T12:26:47.348-04:002014-04-13T12:26:47.348-04:00My passport has dozens of stamps: am I the only on...My passport has dozens of stamps: am I the only one who gets these?gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-56042920096619944712014-04-13T03:59:20.003-04:002014-04-13T03:59:20.003-04:00How strange.

I had a similar problem (minus the men with guns) at my local library, where they insist that everything in their collection has a certain sticker. And so, when I tried to return a book without that sticker, I was suspected of stealing the original and replacing it with an alternate copy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-8779575173999055842014-04-09T10:10:06.313-04:002014-04-09T10:10:06.313-04:00I entered the EU "illegally" in December...I entered the EU "illegally" in December 2012. Was flying to Greece via Germany and on a tight connection. A Lufthansa agent met me and my wife at the gate in Munich and escorted us to our next gate, skipping passport control. After a week in Athens, we flew back through Frankfurt. The passport control agent in Frankfurt noticed that we hadn't gotten stamps on our way in, and asked us a few questions about it, but was disinclined to make an international incident of it. After a couple minutes, we got our exit stamps and went home.Elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01780714050607718074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-57162134922267141942014-04-09T09:12:23.746-04:002014-04-09T09:12:23.746-04:00The Dutch have never not stamped my passport when ...The Dutch have never not stamped my passport when arriving from the US to Schiphol, which I've done for the last 12 years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-42601851442858981822014-04-09T09:02:37.043-04:002014-04-09T09:02:37.043-04:00I've been bouncing around Europe for a few yea...I've been bouncing around Europe for a few years now (both inside and outside Schengen) and no one's bothered to stamp my passport even once.<br /><br />I think the last time someone did was in the US 15 years ago....Tim Worstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13161727860817121071noreply@blogger.com
