On my head , I wore a balaclava and a face mask and a hat . I begin to roll up my pant legs like the others , only to see Majik staring at my bared shins . I pull my pant legs down , put my socks back on , and follow the others fully clothed . " My first thought was , Do n't get excited . Usually I 'm about an hour into a search like that and I have to shake my head and think , Two hours ago I was going to be having dinner with my girlfriend and now I 'm in the middle of the backcountry and it 's dark and I 'm looking for somebody . Yet many experts , such as former UN Chief Weapons Inspector Hans Blix , believe it 's a cover for the secret production of nuclear weapons.There are myriad implications of this difference of opinion — thankfully it would be mostly theory and rhetoric during my month-long stay , this past May and June — but one tangible result is that a country just opening to Western tourism has now been clamped shut and braced for an international showdown .
