Are you telling me when I go through the airport they will search my computer for porn? What will happen if they find my favorite videos?

Quote:

The simplest thing to do is simply rename your jpg files with a new extension like ".tmp" as well as your movie files. I'm certain they would only do a quick search on jpg/avi etc.


If I do this trick is it a fail safe way into bringing my collection in?

Two things.

1. Jesus Christ was that really necessary and

2. What is wrong with you?

I have gone through immigration with my notebook and never been checked. Heck, one time I came back from China with like 100 illegal DVDs of various movies in my carry on - never checked.

I am not sure how much porn you have, but I doubt they will refuse you entry. If you think Korean guys aren't downloading hardcore porn think again...they are. The softcore thing is sort of a face saving thing...

They don't check often but I do know one person who was refused entry into Korea because SHE had porn haha. Never even heard of anyone else being searched though.

Who said anything about airport security. I'm talking about customs where they have a right to search even your anus. This is not a fail proof way. There is no fail proof way. This would protect you from a cursory search. I'm not sure why you even have to ask.

Or, they might ask you if you don't mind waiting a minute while they make a quick copy of it.


This is why I love the forums! Humor. Laughing

So stuffing his 12"-15" notebook into his anus is not the way to smuggle porn into the country? Razz

Bah, why bother? D/L all the adult entertain(t)ment you want in Korea.

I rather suspect the OP is Uncle Kev just trying to generate another 25 posts so he can spam again with his homoerotic porn. How that guy remains married is beyond me. Learned helplessness explains a lot.

If you do get caught with porn, and it's illegal, make note of this

I was in the "What a ridiculous question, Customs never searches your hard drives" camp. Then I read this:

Given the sentiment regarding foreign men sexing up Korean women, you'd think they'd make it illegal for us NOT to bring porn in.
