I fully understand and have no intention of causing pointless strife. I simply do not think that the Eygptian police have proven themselves trustworthy.

I just wanted you to keep in mind that this list is global, and some terms probably need rephrasing, or not phrased at all.
Warmly, Jon

Apologies for offending anyone, would underdeveloped be better?

Unfortuantely, I will have to agree with Dan. Asking people with a vested interest is never a good idea. I would recommend hitting up a travel agent/academic expert/security consultant specializing in the Middle East for information that should be incorporated. Also, I wouldn't have blind faith in the police in a third world country.
Especially in our global community, the term "Third world country" may not be appropriate, in this context. Let's keep that in mind.
