further more... if they REALLY wanted to.. you can be charged with transportation of pornagraphy across borders.
looks like from now on, i'll be emailing my pictures to myself before i leave country...
i get stopped EVERY trip at customs, coming home.
on the february trip, coming through miami, they went through EVERYTHING with a fine tooth comb... the thing they gave me the biggest hassle about... GUM.. fucking gum... chewing gum..
i had brough a bunch of gum for the chicas, and also for myself, because i was doing p90x at the time, and gum eased my craving for food.
i had about 10 packs left coming home.
dont you know, they took a piece of gum from EACH pack, and tested them for drugs.
i was straight up with the guy and told him why i had the gum, and explained the whole fucking chica gifts bag to him...
he didnt care. that gum was fishy to him.
first he figured it HAD to be laced with drugs...
then, nothing..
so then, i could see the thoughts in his head, he's thinking the chica gifts bag... with candy.. must be for kids...
so, he asks ... i notice you have a laptop and not one but TWO digital cameras (thats when mine broke and sicpup brought me a new one).... do you have a problem with me going through them..
now, on the one hadn, i had plenty of pics that i had taken, but i wasnt concerned about any of them.
but on the other hand, i feel this is an invasion of privacy.
but the brain in my head says, dont ever argue with customs..
so i tell the agent, "sure, go right ahead, do what you need to do, i got nothing to hide"
and with that, he says "ok, go ahead and pack everything up, yo uare free to go.
didnt even bother going through the computer and cameras, just wanted to know how i felt about it.
i was wrapped up with them and that damned gum for 2 hours. they had to have an agent run me to my connecting flight.
