You are also the guy that if they find your fireworks will delay everyone's flight and cause many people to miss their connections.

you are a self righteous ass.

More good points.

he would also cause an old-school beat down upon his s. r. a. when his makes it home - or, preferably - in prison.

I want to know who this cat is. I want to avoid being on any mode of tranist with him - AND - I would warn others of his reckless, selfish, piggish behavior - as well as the authorities who would gladly search his arse and throw him in the clink for his stupidity. It'd be just deserts to know that wherever he travels in this world he has to be shaken down by cops and customs; make his travels a ponderous hell.

Cheers,

Joe

If you smuggle fireworks onto a place, you deserve the fine.


How flocking stupid can you possibly be?

Ok, we're heading to the States in a month, and amongst some of our worthless possessions are questionable items.

I mean, things like software, videos, music that were obtained Korean university-student-style....ya' know. I know that I could 'sneak' some CDs among my legal batch...but I've about 1000 burned, sooooooo.

anyone go through Customs with no hassles about these items?

Shoosh,

Ryst


I flew from Thailand to Vancouver with a suitcase full of pirated software and a bunch of photocopied teaching resources. I got the 1st degree but I made it through. They didn't find anything, and I had a huge amount of stuff.

I also mailed myself a bunch of stuff from Korea, mostly burned CDs, and that made it through fine.

Good luck.

i must admit i mailed a BB-gun that i bought in homeplus to my son in australia. it didn't make it. instead he got a stern note from customs.

on the other hand a good friend here mailed one to a young realative in australia at about the same time as me and it DID get through...

funny how much fun stuff is illegal in oz!

Yeah,
All right I'm bad. In saying all this I would never do it again. I do believe the Op was asking about whether anyone took any questionable items back and I answered honestly. Sorry to offend everyone(yet again).
I'm sure a lot of people in this forum have smuggled things on to planes. I don't know how many people I've met since I've been here that have gone to Thailand and brought back pot or E. Maybe it is the people criticising me for my actions, don't point the finger before you point the finger at yourself first. Sorry to be honest

I got a full highland dress outfit back in Scotland (kilt, jacket, sporran etc) that I wanted to take with me to Korea that includes a Skean Dhu, which for those of you that don't know is an ornamental dagger worn in the kilt sock. A no-no to take on a plane, and I certainly wouldn't be daft enough to "smuggle" that over. Even kilt pins (tiny brooch-like motifs to be worn on the kilt) are sometimes not allowed in the cabin as they are sword-shaped.

On the topic of Australian customs, look what happened to this guy's kilt sporran Shocked Laughing

I appreciate the honesty, sorry about the choices.

What I wonder, though, is about US Customs. Korean Customs is bloody joke....I could pack go-go girls from T-land in my bags and they'd just let me pass on through. Hmmmmmmm Idea

I wouldn't worry about putting some pirated software behind jackets of 'real CDs', however, I've 10 fold more illegal than legal. And I am really not gonna be in the mood to be detained by Customs after 25 hours of flight.

Shoosh,

Ryst

Flying in from Singapore once, I had a moon cake confiscated and destroyed by the Australian authorities.

maybe this is a backwards thing . . .

unless you are taking a computer, tell them you bought most of your music here, from an ESL teacher's exchange, and burned everything to hard disc.

Then, you decided to sell your computer, and burned your copies to CD, keeping the originals in pristine condition.

Seems plausible . . .

Glen

with everything else you & the cute lil missus will have, I doubt a snag on that.
