Please list your experiences having things taken in or out of Korea that have been taken from confiscated from you for either legitimate reasons or very vague stupid reasons that your home country would probably never bother over.


1) I had 2 paintball guns travel with me in my luggage through security in LA, through Japan, then when it arrived in Korea it was taken from me because and I quote "Toy guns like these need a license in Korea" to which I inquired "O RLY? And what license would that be?". The answer was obviously "A toy gun license. Ask your city hall for it."

They didn't seem to care that they sell and use them all over Korea, only that I had brought some myself. I call BS.

2) I was on a visa run to Japan and took some packets of 1,000won Curry with me because Japan food is teh expensivez and they were confiscated. The attendant then told me, "Put these deeper in your bag next time."
