Condoleezza Rice was recently travelling the world yet again. It made me wonder. What does she answer to the security question at the airport, "did you pack your own bags"?

My immediate thought was that I really don't know if she and her like actually do pack for themselves when on these missions. Their officials presumably pack all the files and documents but is there someone who counts up the days they are going to be away and packs the correct number of knickers? And what happens if they cannot count. Who goes out to the local M&S store to buy an extra pair? Surely not Condoleezza herself? Like the rest of us, does she get to the airport and worry that she has left her toothbrush behind or does she really concentrate on her talks with Putin or Aaron or whoever she is off to meet?

On second thoughts, perhaps she does not go through airport security. If she does not, that seems to me to be a case for the Department of Homeland Security
