In cases where regulations have to be confronted, Brazilians pride
themselves on being especially creative in their array and variety of gambits suitable for
bending rules. Some veteran despachantes seemed to have magical powers. Passports
for which mere mortals had to wait on line for hours, then return to wait a second, third,
or fourth time at the Federal Police headquarters, were issued in minutes. Documents not
available at all by legal means materialized the same way. By Brazzil Magazine
