Keith Brown, a youth worker from the English Midlands, was stopped in transit at Dubai airport in September 2009. Customs found 0.003 grams of cannabis, invisible to the eye, in the tread of his shoe. He was sentenced to four years, then the minimum for possession. Another traveller was reported jailed over three poppy seeds from a bread roll.[1]
