And in my experiance the "some thing for them" must be passed whilst shaking hands or passed behind the back whilst looking at some thing else......... and it never stops. you wouldnt believe the ploys they use to extract some currency from you. I once had a bloke that I reckognised as the bloke that was marshelling us into a parking position at the airport turn up at the hotel about three hours after we booked in (about his knock off time) and wearing a borrowed US airforce jacket and a Indon army hat and carrying a large official looking reciept book, demand payment for the security of the aircraft over night. it turned out that after me telling him to p!ss off and him leaving looking very sheepish, he was a free lance collecter of moneys from tourists and visiters that didnt question whatever they were paying and not in the employ of anyone even closely related to the airport.
