The idea that people have to be told to not put bullets in their carryon is ridiculous

@JillWhitcomb1966 15 күн бұрын

As an American who has traveled all over the world and lived in 4 foreign countries..... when entering any country that is not the USA, you must follow their laws and rules. It does not matter if you agree with their laws and rules, or if you think their laws and rules are 'silly' or 'harsh' or 'stupid'. You are a guest in that country, and you have to abide by the same laws and rules as the citizens who live there. If you don't like it, then stay home.

TSA not doing their job

@duncansmith7562 14 күн бұрын

assuming there were, in fact, bullets in the luggage that the TSA screened.

@EnronnSierra 15 күн бұрын

I can understand Turks and Caicos and its really irresponsible on the part of those tourists to not thoroughly check their luggage before flying. its even worse for the TSA, because that likely tells you how much drugs and ammunition is being smuggled in and out of the country. Why do you think Haiti is the way it is and the Opioid crisis is in full swing? Those lazy TSA agents aren't doing their job. At the same time, this is not a good look for Turks and Caicos, I'm sure tourism is a big part of their economy. Americans are notorious for long term memory and boycotting. The last thing you want is people to skip your destination. Fine them each 10 grand and send them home.

a 12 year jail sentence is indeed absurd, for an honest mistake. problem is, until the trial, there is no evidence it was an honest mistake, honey.

Speaks volumes for the incompetency of Americans traveling abroad that FIVE individuals are wandering around Turks and Caicos with ammo they brought into the country!

Not a good look, claiming innocence on ammunition charges, with a map of Ukraine proudly displayed in the background.

12 years is too much, but that doesn't make these men less guilty. Be responsible gun owners. "Mistake" and "responsible gun owner" don't mix well.

It's possible that he used one bag for everything. He probably uses that same bag for his hunting trips. Honestly, I think they'll let him off with a fine instead of a prison sentence.

These are justified arrests. They should not have ammunition in their bags. How can he keep his kids safe if he does not even know where his own ammunition is.

12 years is a lot so hopefully it won’t be that long but all avoidable with a little checking .

If they can show they didn't have any ill intent then they'll probably just pay a fine and will be home in a few weeks.

TSA in Oklahoma. We should be mindful where it was that saw the bullets and said, that’s fine.

I will NEVER go to Turks and Caicos after this. I don't visit countries that don't take intent into account in their penal code, and that have unreasonably harsh mandatory minimum sentences for accidental mistakes. I will spend my tourist dollars elsewhere, thank you.
