As you know Ireland is probably the most pro American country in the world, with mother like support of US policy regardless of world opinion. Lately the number of Russian spies in Shannon airport & Limerick, well know as a supportive base for the US, has increased along with there genius ways of sapping information & gaining advantage over the US. For the past years they drank in hotels & bars frequented by US personnel. These guys have now positioned themselves as taxi & limo operators for Shannon airport, meaning every American travelling will be interigated in a 'mild fashion'. This is really trawling for information casting a wide net. You check the odd statistics regarding the number of Russian men & women now offering services in Shannon but check Galway or Killarney & find almost none? The bait is always low fares which we all like but believe me, the cost is enormous.
I would ask you to call your taxi or limo or whatever car service to check are you travelling with a Russian interrogator or a local Irish guy who is more interested in telling you Blarney than asking about your travel intentions & times?
This is a warning which I hope you can pass on to friends & family travelling to Europe & Shannon in particular, the USA is worth more than 30 pieces of silver.
