Opportunity to bring some news of this Iranian who was the real inspirator.
He is still there, free to go, but prefering to stay he "relocated" to the shops and food mart area in the basement of T1. Due to major refurbishing work, he recently "moved" to the vicintiy of the Chemist's. He did not lose anything behind, he still has all his cases provided by LH and Fedex...
