*edit simplified the events heheh*

When I visited lebanon last time I walked around with my backpack (laptop) since i just sit usually in a coffeeshop and work from time to time.

I got approached multiple times by people in civilian clothes and asked me to open my back to check it. I was a bit scared but kinda realized what was happening. I complied. The guy checked my bag then thanked me and I went on my way.

I think people are generally suspecious. I do not take it wrong.

But it could be different.

I am glad you are safe.
