BigC Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 A few years back me and a mate were flying from UK to Amsterdam for a few days holiday. As we were flying out we had to show our passports to the official at the boarding gate. My mate went first, the official looked at his passport pic, looked at him, waved him through. I was next, he looked at the photo, looked at me then called my mate back. We had accidentally swapped passports at check in. How on earth did he let my mate through with my passport? Maybe he was high off the last seizer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 If some of you learnt to answer the questions asked by customs or immigration minus the attitude then you would encounter a lot less problems.what if you ask a question and get no answer is that right also. or are we supposed to be robots and not get afffended. Most of it is intmidation. Like Someone said they asked so many stupid questions. like " did u pack this bag yourself sir, " Answer " no i have a magical fairy that packs my bags for me every time i go away" ask a stupid question get a stupid answer.. watch and learn lol Like Someone said they asked so many stupid questions. like " did u pack this bag yourself sir, "If you think about it,that's a reasonable question which they ask to everyone, i.e if they find contraband in your case/bag,then you can't say I don't know how it got there,because you said you packed it! Packed my back but I did not pack the coke Anyway as is already mentioned if you could just say someone else packed my back then if that gets you off the 5 kg of coke then fair play Either way they are going to search it and if there is contra band they shall nick you I drove back from Amsterdam once and decided to piss off the customs They wanted to do a thorough search of my car and take my wheels off I to them thank you They said why I said if I was waved straight through I would have been kicking myself about the 10 kg I left if the dam Now u have stopped my I just saved myself 10 years The customs officer asked me if I want go stay longer than I have to I said take your time I have been driving for 8 hours I shall lie down in the corner u tell me when your done Plus ordered coffee for myself and the customs After that they could not be bothered But I insisted search my car please Mainly because it smelt very bad and was an absolute tip They insisted they would not Pot calling the kettle black I cannot even get myself arrested by these stupid people Little did they know I have the gear in my pocket ha ha Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 That's pretty much it It was just a simple heads up which has spiralled out of control If they wanted to check for porn I mean child porn then they could have done that in front of him If they found something that was dicy then they could impound it till it was checked out No need to seize a devise Be the story true or not I am making back up hard drives to leave behind as my work is too important to be seized I suppose under this paranoid terrorism act gives the government powers to so all sorts of things which have nothing to do win terrorism I don't understand why the uk is so edgy about terrorism as we lived for decades with the threat of the I R A Just because of paranoid America going over the top does not mean we have to copy them Remember prior to 9 11 there was hardly any securty on domestic flights which made them an easy target So now they have gone right over the top due to their slackness for before I might take my broken lap top to England It is broken beyond repair Rarther than through it away I might let customs have it Shall take them weeks to repair just to find there is nothing there Maybe I shall tell them that it appears to be broken but really or is heavily encrypted with my personal secret messages Sent from my iPhone using ThaiVisa app If the IRA were using current terrorist tactics and had IT technology to murder thousands, we would have done the same.

So perhaps that is all you should comment on and maybe with the proviso 'if taking the story as accurate'. Don't you understand that I DON'T CARE if you don't take the story as accurate. Then ignore it! You snipe above that somebody's time can't be worth much if they do what they do, but are you so short of something to do that must must speculate on something you know nothing about?

thaibeachlovers Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) One trick I have is to always leave my unwashed smelly clothes on the top on the suitcase contents ( insulated from the rest by a layer of plastic ), so the first thing that hits them is a frightful pong.
