Amman Photos, Part 3

"This one deserves further comment. Those innocent looking middle-aged vendors selling souvenirs (beads, old coins, stamps, defunct Iraqi bank notes with Saddam's face) for tourists are a bit more than street vendors. Notice the bald fellow hiding his face from the camera? He turned out to be an undercover Jordanian security agent. Just after I took the photo, he beckoned for two other men to follow him and headed to the bench where I was sitting with another friend, sipping horrible tea made out of bags. He asked me, with authority in his tone, from which country I was from and why I was shooting people's faces."
