Obviously, when you have worked for 25 years together—I have spent over a third of a century in the field of security—you get to know people. This is the wonderful part of getting to know people worldwide: you start to talk.

You try to learn from the mistakes of other people. You exchange views because you want to achieve the goal of securing those flights.
Obviously, you are maintaining a relationship, sometimes on the level of client and supplier, and sometimes on the level of getting together in conferences--although there is no commercial relationship in getting to know people, yes?
