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. "It will probably be ok" is a disaster waiting to happen. Mark MARK H.

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. When the horse has been eliminated, human life may be extended an average of five or more years. James R. Doolitle I think they've been misunderstood. Timothy Tredwell | |||

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. | |||
