Despite the cyclone, the military, (500 000) militias and police are well organized. Any people caught would be expelled immediately. I was arrested in Rangoon in 1999 after interviewing Aung San Suu Kyi, detained 24 hours and expelled. My name is now on a blacklist dispatched to every border crossing. It's the same case for most Bangkok-based journalists.
