BOOK YOUR CRUISE WITH US🚢 www.luxrallytravel.com/influencers/bookwithj?referral_src=yt_385_oVukKbyW8Aw

When I am packing for a trip, I always go through all the pockets, inside, outside and zippers.

As a responsible gun owner when I do go to the range I have a range bag for transporting guns and ammo. By no means do I ever use that bag for anything else.

how is ALL of this ammo getting through our TSA????

As a gun owner who does a lot of flying, I don't feel sorry for this guy at all. I keep ammo in a separate container for road trips. If I fly, I am going to really be aware of what was in the bags before to avoid this kind of problems. I today's world you have to take responsibility. Give him 6 months and $5000 to $10,000 fine.

The real question is why is it getting past our security?

Americans traveling to the islands need to respect the law. Point blank PERIOD. Intent does not absolve you from obeying the law.

I’m beginning to believe the wives are putting the bullets in the bags at this point lol because all of the men saying “I had no idea the bullets were there”

Why are people carrying ammo when traveling?!

"I don't see how imprisoning me is gonna help them in any way." Well, we are going to find out.

I swear, they have to think it is a game at this point.

I do not understand how this keeps happening. As a daily carrier in the state of Florida. When I cruise or fly anywhere I do a very deep search of all bags for knifes, weapons and any firearms or bullets. People are just really dumb for this to keep happening. 5 times is so many times for people to not figure it out.

You can’t blame TSA for your own mistake

Are so irresponsible with your ammunition that you don’t know it’s in your bag?

In law, there is something called an "absolute liability offense", which means that your intent is irrelevant.

Don’t threaten the island with a loss of income because of this man. He is being interviewed from his RESORT room on a tropical island. 😐

This is getting ridiculous! This is very easy. You either empty your bag 100% get all the dust bunnies out of every little crevice and crack, or Buy a new bag for going on a cruise! You won’t have any problems because you won’t have any ammo. 😮

The other day, I heard a women was arrested and she is the 6th citizen to bring in ammunition

I had to pause the clip because I was convinced all 4 men were the same person 😂

That dude was reading a script that his lawyer wrote

Funny thing is I’m looking at the lineup of all these suspects and there’s one common denominator ha ha ha 🤮 good Christians I’m sure

I see a TREND in the pictures. 😅

It's not brain surgery people. Don't bring bullets. HELLOOOOOOO.

You are right, my first thought was why not have separate bags. The only thing I can imagine is if these guys are using a backpack. If they are going to deer camp, the gun range and then vacation. And TSA misses a lot of things, especially if you travel during the holidays.

there are a WHOLE lot of first offenders especially black ones in america doing mandatory sentences who were given the same grace. So it is what it is…lawyer up big dog

“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time…”- Robert Blake as TV’s Barretta.

Intent or ignorance of the law are not excuses for committing crimes.

Being in possession of chewing gum and the stiff fine that can come with it in Singapore, hasn’t discouraged tourism.

Come on people, there's lots of money to be had in trafficking ammo. That many people did not just have a whoops. Not saying all of them are shady but loose ammo used for hunting just mistakenly rolling around in your luggage. There are a lot of holes in these stories.

As someone who worked for TSA, bullets in checked bags are allowed on US flights without problem. In a carry on they aren’t allowed but without a gun, they are hard to spot, especially if they are under your laptop in your bag that you got to leave in there because…you’re precheck 🙃

TSA might not stop you for ammunition, but God forbid if you bring more than 3 oz of any liquid your terrorist in their eyes 😂

We took our college-age kids on their first international vacation this year to Cozumel. I literally gathered them all in the living room and gave them all the rules to follow when traveling internationally. I even told them that they didn't know what to do to come find me, and w4e must triple-check anything. We want to bring back into the country to make sure we can import it via customs. I even talked to them about the process of declaring items when you come back into the United States. I took my family out of the country. And it was my responsibility to make sure they were prepared. The trip went off without a hitch. I've also traveled all over the world for leisure and work. I've known for twenty years to look up the rules before I land on foreign shores. I've had spectacular adventures all over the planet. I have sympathy for these situations. But in the age of the internet, nobody should be getting caught off guard by rules in other countries. This is a very hard lesson many Americans need to learn. American rights do not follow you outside of our borders. I think the penalty is too harsh for the crime. But I'm also not a citizen of that country, so my opinion is moot.

This happened to us when we were cruising out of Galveston, Texas. My husband had used one of his hunting bags for travel and he had checked it 3 times over but still missed 4 shotgun shells. We were detained by security, the police were called to the port, the ship security came off the ship. It was a big deal (for us). My husband had to write a statement of explanation and we turned over the rounds to the police officer. Thankfully we were still allowed to sail.

7:08 - it keeps happening because, often times, Americans are disrespectful of other countries.

Hey Jay ur trending on MSN. Saw this b4 it uploaded to my KZfaq page. Wow congratulations 🎉

This is so avoidable. I have a set of luggage for car travel and a set for airline travel. I have a carry-on for car travel and a carry-on for airline travel. Pick a bag color for your gun range and hunting bag, and use it for only that.

How is this situation going to frighten others from traveling there? Why are they even using the bags they use for hunting to travel with? Like someone else in the comments mentioned, I have a separate suitcase and carry-on foe travel. If I were a hunter, I would have a separate bag for that, which would be stored in a separate location in my house or storage area. I think they were taking ammunition over there for other reasons, but got caught. Common sense would say check the laws of other countries before going, but not all sense is common.🤷🏾‍♀️

Some people are entitled and are use to not having to abide by rules in the US.

Idk. There's a part of me that cant understand why this happened since you should pack your luggage for your trips. You would notice if you leave ammo in your luggage. Having said that, i have found stuff in my luggage, mid trip, from previous trips.

Turks and Caicos just recently introduced the penalty of 12 years for tourists caught with ammunition. Before they paid a fine. The fine was not a sufficient deterrent. That also means that there were tourists bringing in ammo for the wrong reasons, and all using the same excuse. Your hear one side of the story. "It was not my intent". Yet five persons are facing sentencing since the 12 year penalty was introduced. You only need to smuggle in one bullet to harm someone. And I am sure someone would pay a high price just to secure that one bullet. I would like to hear the side of the Turks and Caicos police.

That will not deter me from visiting the island. I don't have a gun so I would not have ammunition. After awhile it's not going to be acceptable to say it's an accident. How do you pack your bag and not know it's the same bag you have the ammunition in?

You are absolutely correct. I am retired military and still shoot regularly. I have a range bag that holds my pistols and ammunition. I would never put either of those things in my luggage for travel for just this reason. I would also question how these keep getting though the TSA.

You really can't blame TSA. TSA catches many firearms and knives every day. A bullet in a back pack going thru TSA is extremely small on there screen. Missing it was operater error on the X ray machine. Can't blame all of TSA for that.

My husband (police at the time) had loose ammo in his (work) backpack that he rushed and packed for a trip. Got to LAX and the only reason he wasn’t arrested by TSA is because he worked p/t at LAX and they knew it was a mistake. From then on the work bag and travel bag are NEVER the same. I purchased a designer bag that can not be confused as a work bag 😓

I get it I have several firearms and I have a dedicated bag for my firearms when I go to the range so that there is never any cross contamination for this very reason.

First guy... ok, maybe it was an accident BUT ANOTHER ONE? Nope.... he's at least the FIFTH guy

The 2nd doesn't work outside USA

If he didn’t know the ammo was there, how can we know his intent? And what will “imprisoning” him do? Just. What. It’s. Doing. 1. Making an example of him. 2. Serving as a reminder of what can happen when you break an international law. 3. Prove that apparently, THEIR security is stronger than OUR TSA. I hope all works out for him though. I’m sure this will take both a physical and emotional toll on them.

Maybe it happened before but we’re hearing about it now because the penalty is more serious

Your response was also my response exactly when I saw this story yesterday. How does anybody get in this situation after the others have made national news? BTW, you can carry ammo in your checked bags so you can't put this on the TSA.

Bullets or Kilos... either way, you fucked up.

This is so American (speaking as an American). The funny thing is these individuals are usually the main ones saying, "if you don't want to go to jail, than don't break the law." Let me honest, he only has a problem with it because he got caught. I only give a bit of sympathy to the first person who got arrested right after the law changed. But at this point, there is no excuse. I don't understand why someone would just have random rounds of ammunition in their bag. As adults, we have to take accountability and make sure we understand the laws of other countries. And everyone keeps saying that how did it get through TSA. We are assuming he had it in a carry-on; it could have been in a checked bag. In that case, you are allowed to carry ammunition. So you can get out of the country with a weapon/bullets, but it doesn't mean you won't get in trouble where you are going.

No doubt on knowing what’s in your bag. It’s smuggling if you bring drugs whether it’s “accidentally” or not. “I didn’t know that was there” doesn’t work when for example going to Florida from California with a joint.

What I don't understand is why do they not just completely emptied the bag, pockets and all?

I really have no sympathy for this guy. Like, maybe just don’t travel without researching where you are going? Leave it to an American man to assume he can bring his same American rights to whichever country he brings his Americaness. Imprisoning him is not meant to help anyone. It’s meant to be the consequence of his actions. I remember when I learned that camo print is illegal in many island countries. Guess who doesn’t even buy camo anything anymore just so I don’t have it as an option for myself or my son in our wardrobe? Me. Like, have a travel bag. Don’t use that for questionable American activities. Keep it boring and simple, and don’t use it for daily life!

Their wives are putting it in their bags 😂

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Toto!"

I'm having déjà vu. How many times has his happened now? Hard to feel sorry for someone that's stuck on a Caribbean island.

Did y'all know when traveling to Barbados, it's illegal to wear camo clothing? Look it up.....

You have to know the laws before traveling and then follow those laws!

It's their rule, Americans has to respect there rules.....periodt!

Your hunting bag should be different from your international luggage. PERIOD!!

These adults i assume, are licensed firearm carriers who are trained in the use and storage of the same. Are gun regulations so casual in their home States as to create this dangerous carelessness. They are 100 % responsible, no excuses.

Always check your bags and pockets...

It is a shame to be incarcerated because of simple stupidity. And that is what happened. Why don't people use common sense? Then he asks how his being jailed will help. He is incredibly naive.

You have no idea if these were mistakes or trying to import a bullet to kill someone.

Play stupid games win stupid prizes

Q: "Why does this keep happening? Don't most people use different bags for traveling?" A: There are so many people that have guns. Most will use a separate bag, and most that don't will remember to check thoroughly for ammunition. We're just seeing the small percentage that don't think of this being a problem ahead of time.

OMG A WOMAN from Orlando just got caught at airport in Turks and Caicos on Monday...FOOLS

I have had it happen, My laptop bag I use both domestically and internationally. But I triple check it. Also I have had bullets go through TSA before in my laptop bag

That’s like the people that try to wear camouflage in ports. There are rules to follow.

this is what happens when u dirty and dont clean shit good. either way he should be cleaning his luggage properly after a hunting trip because of shit like this.....also how we know these ppl not trying to hid evidence from a crime committed???

People don’t check their bags for old stuff before packing for the next trip

I like separate bags, but they also need separate pants. This is America, we have bullets in our pockets in jeans and jackets. Ammo is like loose coins.

Do people not empty their bags before packing 🤔 just wondering.

They want to make a example so no one will bring ammo and bullets

The bags that I use for travel, I use for nothing but travel but I STILL check every pocket before a trip!! I collect knives. My late wife bought me this knife that folded into a credit card. A nice little novelty item. I carried it in my wallet for yeeeeeeears. Went through TSA for flights several times during those years, not even remembering that it was there. I never got flagged by TSA. Then one day, getting back onto a Carnival ship from a port of call, I put my wallet phone and watch in the little bowl to go onto the Xray conveyer belt as usual, (Just as I do for TSA) and THEY flagged it! lol..

Ammunition is the same as importing a gun. Anyone can 3D print a gun nowadays all you need to do is get your hands on ammunition.

TSA doesn't check checked baggage. That is how you're supposed to travel with firearms.

30 years ago, I was working at a small regional airport. We would get long haul truckers who would grab their cab bag and try to fly out. Security would catch those handguns. Guys, if it's your every day backpack, purse, or gym bag dump it out on your bed the night before and repack it. Governments are hyper sensitive to what we all carry. Respect the laws.

I don't even understand why someone would bring ammunition?! Like da fuq?

"Hunting" ammunition so shotgun? Which I believe has really giant bullets. How do you miss 4 of those?

It’s pretty simple. I’m from Texas so I’m used to guys similar to this… They think they’re above the rules and laws. They think their ignorance to the laws are excuses for why they do not have to follow them. It doesn’t apply to them. To them they made a “simple mistake” so they shouldn’t get in trouble for it.

My hubby is a hunter, none of his hunting gear is ever used for travel. It’s all boxed up and ALL ammo is in a safe.

Their country, their rules, simple as that.

How many times is it going to be an accident

Its always like 2 rounds they find.

"You can't respect the laws in a foreign country if you don't know the laws..." well said. It confuses me that the news anchor thinks people may be too scared to travel to Turks just because of these men getting arrested for having illegal ammo. Not everyone is that careless.

We will be flying to a European country to take a cruise. I checked the country’s website to see if there was a list of prohibited items, and was surprised to see “chocolate candies” on the list. We always take some to give to our cabin attendant so I already had some ready to be packed. I have no idea why this should be prohibited, but it’s their law, so the candy is now back in my pantry. Had I not checked, I would have been surprised at Customs upon entry and it would probably have been confiscated. At least now I have some to enjoy when I get back home.

People need to be careful. Other countries don't play around with their gun laws. I once had a guy pulled off my flight in Singapore by police for having a mock plastic bullet on his keychain. I don't know what happened but at very least he missed his flight.

This actually happened to me in 2011 when flying to Utah from Michigan. The bag was my husbands and for some reason in a pocket on the very bottom was a AR bullet. I didn't get stopped leaving the airport in Michigan only when flying back from Utah to Michigan. They pulled me over and asked what gun I had, looking clueless they pulled out this giant bullet. We still don't know exactly where that came from.

How much would they go for if they WERE SMUGGLING in a hypothetical type situation?!

So he had no idea that there was ammo in the bag??? Clueless dude! He deserves to be locked up.

when i travel domestically i dont care too much about whats in my bag before. when going international i double check. Recently flew to japan and I definitely made sure all my prescription and advil and other pills were allowed there because ive read about issues online.

I can not understand why they are not throughly checking out bags prior to packing. My hunting / camping bags are separate from travel bags. They are never mixed. All bags, hunting or travel, are completely cleaned out after each trip. Stupidity is no excuse when traveling to foreign countries or even different states

Hey!!!! What’s the best way to reach out to you! I am currently on allure of the sea and would love to report something major on this ship.

That’s going to be expensive for him to have to stay there 🤔

Abide by the laws of the countries you are visiting. Your "privilege" will not protect you from arrest, prosecution, and possibly a prison sentence.

Maybe these ammunition are intended for resell? I can see how the island would be upset.

I have a backpack, I use it to carry my guns and ammo to the shooting range. I also use the same backpack for my cruising to hold my laptop, iPad and extra clothes if my luggage is lost for my cruise. Ammo falls out of the boxes, from time to time. I once found $100 in my backpack that slid out of the envelope after a cruise trip. 10 years in jail for just ammo? Weird laws…in Alabama, You are not allowed to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket while walking down the street.
