Thursday, September 11 2008 - Flying with Bullets

Pastor Phillip MilesPastor Phillip Miles

In the 7 years since 9/11, much has changed in the United States and abroad - especially when it comes to air travel. Virtually all passengers know what it's like now to take off their shoes, get rid of their bottled water, and wade through long checkpoint lines.

Pastor Phillip Miles has gone to the Russian city of Perm off and on for the past 10 years. At the last minute before his most recent rip, Pastor Miles packed a box of bullets in his luggage as a gift. He got permission to fly with the bullets by airport security in South Carolina, but authorities in Moscow arrested him and charged him with smuggling. Pastor Miles was sentenced to 3 years and 2 months in prison.

He talks to Dick Gordon about what life is like inside a Russian prison and how it felt to win his release.
