Pyongyang Protocol

It doesn't matter if you're communist or capitalist, orders North Korean paramount leader Kim Jong-il, for as long as you're a first-time visitor to Pyongyang you must 'seek clearance' (read: be frisked and even probed) at the guard house before being granted entry. Elseways, the little man will inject cancerous cells into your bloodstream and let you die a slow agonizing death. Resistance is, needless to say, futile.
