Folks, I also encourage all International travelers to be hyper vigilant in following all the airline and rules of the country you are going to visit.

I remember this from 2013: http://articles.timesofindia.i...naik-airport-bullets US techie caught at Bhubaneswar airport with 8 bullets Debabrata Mohapatra, TNN Sep 19, 2013, 03.14AM IST Tags:US National|Houston|AmsterdamBHUBANESWAR: A US national allegedly travelled 15,722 km from Houston to Bhubaneswar via Amsterdam and New Delhi with live ammunition before being caught at the Biju Patnaik airport on Wednesday. Eight .22mm bullets were found in his bag. Police identified the man as William Michael Hurtubise (27), a service engineer. He was arrested for possessing the bullets without license. William was about to board a chopper for Paradip when he was caught during security checking at the airport. The chopper was sent by a Paradip-based shipping company where William was supposed to carry out some mechanical inspection. "We arrested him under the Arms act. The American embassy has been informed," DCP Nitinjeet Singh said. Police said William possessed a valid passport. Quoting William, police said he boarded an Amsterdam-bound flight from Houston on Sunday. He reached Delhi from the Holland capital on Tuesday, after which he caught a connecting flight to Bhubaneswar. William told police that he possessed a licensed revolver at America. "The bullets were lying in my bag. I forgot to leave it back home," William said. He admitted that the security personnel at Houston and Delhi airports could not detect the bullets during checking. "After reaching Bhubaneswar on Tuesday, I checked into a hotel and left for Bhubaneswar airport to catch the chopper for Paradip on Wednesday morning," he said. Police found William's statements difficult to believe. Security has been tightened across all airports in the US after the killing of four people at a naval base in Washington on Monday. How he hoodwinked cops at Houston, Amsterdam and New Delhi remains a mystery. "We are verifying the exact date of his departure from America and whether he actually carried the bullets from there. We suspect he could have procured the bullets after reaching Bhubaneswar," Singh said. The hotel where William checked in on Tuesday, said his luggage was properly frisked, but no objectionable articles were found. "He might have got the bullets after checking out from our hotel on Monday morning," said a hotel staffer. If you go on travel overseas, make sure you don't have any "bullets" or "firearms parts" in your luggage. I just conducted a web search, looks that William Michael Hurtubise spent 33 days in jail before getting bail because he had eight 22lr rounds in his luggage. And then, he had to stay in country till the mess was figured out. https://indiankanoon.org/doc/166415258/ I am sure the Lawyer's fees took all his savings, and probably put him in debt. | |||

Trinidad and Tobago are the same, son brought me a couple of newspapers. Possession of a couple of shot gun shells will get you serious jail time.

These kind of extreme actions on the part of other governments over accidental violations that come from honest (vs intentional & nefarious) actions by tourists make me wonder why anyone who hunts or shoots would support the tourism industry of such countries. I know I won’t. There is no way in hell I’d ever knowingly go anywhere that a simple, honest mistake could land me in jail for a day, let alone 12 years in prison. As nice as Turks & Caicos is, there are plenty of other destinations we can spend our discretionary spending on where governments don’t have extreme laws. | |||

Strangers can sometimes be kind to innocents, but never foreign governments to Americans. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Now that the world views us as being led by essentially a potato that can barely read a teleprompter no one is scared of us anymore. Worse yet.....I bet we give millions every year to some of these shitholes that treat American travelers like garbage. There is a near endless list of people that are lucky I'm not king. Good people would have nothing to fear. _________________________ Liberalism is a mental disorder. | |||

Exactly! No common sense whatsoever! I watched what happened to a little Spanish kid who had a tiny knife - probably half inch blade - in his backpack. He was stopped at Munich airport behind me. In no time at all two police officers with MP5 arrived to keep watch. 45 minutes later the whole family were still being quizzed. I had to leave to catch my flight! | |||

America has always been a gun culture. Look at how many people you see today open carrying. My son and I keep guns and ammo in our trucks. I took me an hour to get all of the 12 gauge and rifle bullets out of my truck so that I could drive onto to Cherry Point Marine Base last week. I have to dump out my Filson bags every time I travel and repack. I need to come up with a better system. | |||

Due diligence- avoidance. Go over every piece of luggage to include carry-ons and Dopp kits. Look into every fold and crease, especially if you are coming back from a US-based hunting trip. Examine your family's bags like a US Customs agent in secondary inspection. On an extended trip to Europe beforehand I found a magazine in a fold of my carry-on. Foreign governments do not have to believe your explanations. Even as a retired Federal agent, it could have been worse than embarrassing. Be prepared and trust nothing to chance. It's just not worth it. Avatar | |||

Someone I know daughter got to find out how stupid hawaii can get over one round or case of 9mm can get. If the list would not be too long it is too bad we don't a a list compiled . . . . No, way more of them than free countries! Funny thing is, how many of them make BIG bucks off of hunters. Oh well may be like the US of A . . . Can not stop the flow of tons of drugs from entering and yet many gun laws affecting law abiding citizens Don't limit your challenges . . . Challenge your limits | |||

And when Trump called these places Shithole countries, many of you got your panties in a wad and he was/is so right and Dems are absolutely hostile to hunters and gun owners When do we wake up? | |||

5? How do you read the news and not check your bags again and again? Sad part is, these are productive, law abiding, tax paying fathers who's families will be torn apart - yet we let criminals go free here with no bail. Yes, I know, respect the laws in the countries you go to. But if I was POTUS, I ask that 5 return home after paying a fine OR we put the islands on a no travel list - same as North Korea. "Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid" -- Ronald Reagan "Ignorance of The People gives strength to totalitarians." Want to make just about anything work better? Keep the government as far away from it as possible, then step back and behold the wonderment and goodness. | |||

I was going through security at Milwaukee airport after a deer hunt. As my coat was going into X-Ray I say to the TSA Agent, "I was deer hunting, I checked pockets but if there is anything there you can have it." He picked up a can of ammo and shook it saying, "This week we have different rules." | |||
