No, but I got into serious trouble in Egypt whilst boarding an internal Egyptair flight earlier this year for standing at the foot of the stairs and raising my face to the sun. I was waiting for the meatballs ahead of me to sort themselves out and embark. Whilst indulging in this little heliotropism I was singing a little Mozart to myself.
Egyptian security apparently thought that I was saying a final prayer to whatever divinity they supposed I worshipped, before, presumably, blowing us all to kingdom come.
After the ensuing security brouhaha, my wife and I were allowed to board and fly away, which was nice. I complimented security on their astute assumption of the fact that I might be a terrorist and assured them that I would not be making racist claims to the press. My khaki trousers were only somewhat baggy.
