My brother-in-law installs furnaces and air conditioning systems. At one point he had to take his work truck across the border into Canada, and they asked him what he had in the back. He said "Furnace parts". They said "like what". He said "ducts, blowers, thermocouples,...". Ding ding ding! "Take your truck over there sir!".
In the end he had to do a full, detailed inventory, and then could go. Turned a 90 minute job into a seven hour ordeal.
People with way too much power, not enough knowledge, and a hair trigger for anything that sounds wrong: a bad combination.
