Questions at US Customs

[Drjetman]

On my way back from the DR on my last trip I received a few inquiries from a female customs agent in Ft.Lauderdale.She asked,"When was the last time you were in the DR","Why do you go there so much?" and "Do you own property there?"
I had nothing to hide and it did'nt bother me but that was the first time I was ever questioned like that.
Anyone else have any similar experiences?

Yea once and I said I go for the chicas. The custom agent just laughed.

Who knows,maybe this was the Customs Agent who rolled Rush Limbaugh for his Viagra.

They usually just ask me not to breath on them.

I started getting asked additional questions after my 4th trip, though I had taken those 4 trips within 6-7 months! I was even told I was flagged as "a person of interest" by the Customs agent.

Again nothing to hide except non-perscription vitamin V/C.

Got news for you, here you are a person of interest as well.

Actually he got busted coming back on a private plane which I have done several time myself.

It was very suprising to me because customs has always been very relaxed and I never have been searched going that route. Actually a companion was once asked to remove the cigars he was carrying that he had claimed on his custom's form. The agent asked first if they were Cubans, I actually laughed and said there are no real Cuban cigars in the DR, but he wanted to see them. Before you ask why I chimed in, each plane load is inspected together unlike commercial flights where everyone is seperate.

What ever happened to your Piloto friend?
Was he too good for us here?
He seems to have plenty of time posting about hamburgers on another website and touring the countryside with his Mum!

He like you once did, now lurks under another handle.

Never had a female customs agent and all the MALE agents know about the free flowing pussy so I usually get a wink and a LAUGH!!!

I've been traveling for a while now and i actually like getting questioned about something of significance. Because prior to 9/11, i'd get stopped, questioned, luggage tossed, dog sniffed, scanned, etc. All based on the color of my skin.

Is bringing Lapela back to the US illegal ?????

Did you ever think it could be all the salad dressing you and WSJ are taking over here. It's bound to attract attention....

Remember what happened to Rush Limbal...

Dont get caught up.

I believe if you bring any perscription med back that you don't have a perscription for is illegal.

As mentioned above there is a limit on meds even when you do have a perscription.

Oppps, I guess I should not be bringing the extra back with me. Now it used to be legal to buy it without a prescription so why would i need a prescription to bring it back into the US.

According to reports it's still legal to purchase without a perscription in the DR. But in the US it is a perscription medicine.

If that was the case then I could buy marijuana in Amsterdam and bring it back to the US.

Dogs aren't trained to sniff for salad!!

I always like to rub a little peanut butter under my balls for the drug dogs....
