Seems like a place tourist should STOP GOING TO! It seems sketchy for this to happen for the 5th time! 😳
I don't think it's sketchy that they keep getting caught, I think it's sketchy that people have LOOSE AMMO IN THEIR BAGS! These people have no business owning a gun if they can't even store ammo properly. We just keep showing the world how dumb we are.
@@ylm0371 but that's the sketchy part. How many people just walk around with loose ammunition in the duffle bags and suitcases?
Quite a few. It'd easy to get too comfortable with important and dangerous things such as this. Look at how many irresponsible owners leave theirs out for their children to find. Sad reality. @@janedo-re-mi2738
@@ylm0371Looks like someone set them up.. I'll avoid the Island.
@@janedo-re-mi2738 Tyler Wenrich admitted that he'd just been shooting at a range with friends before traveling and used the same bag. His ammo was loose which is illegal in the States! Ryan Watson immediately realized the bag of ammo found in his bag was his because it's the same ammo he uses to hunt with. Sharrita Grier said that the bag her ammo was found in is the same bag she stores away her hand gun and ammo in when her grandkids come to visit on the weekends so they don't find it. Bryan Hagerich and his wife said that the ammo in his bag, that he typically uses for weekend hunting trips, was in a box he owned. The 5th guy hasn't spoken publicly. So do you mean to tell me that Turks and Caicos had 5 different types of ammo that just so happened to match guns that each person owns (without the guns being present) in boxes/bags/containers that those people personally own? Americans are just irresponsible gun owners. There's no reason to use your gun bag as a travel bag. Buy a different bag! There's no conspiracy here. Just stupid people.
The even bigger question is how all these Americans got through U.S. airport security to fly to Turks and Caicos 🤔
Doesn't TSA allow ammunition in checked bags? And the Caribbean island does not allow ANY ammunition whether checked or carey-on.
Just act normal and don't look suspicious.
your assuming that she had it when she left america to fly there. couldn't she have gotten it on the island, and if so, what was she doing there?
I don't think ammo is illegal, unless you have like a TON of it. Even then they'd probably just trash it.
But that's just a guess, still kind of curious that gun owners use the same bags for their guns and travel, at least with loose ammunition. A gun and magazine are generally a lot easier to spot while packing, ammunition obviously a bit harder, so don't leave it loose. They come in boxes as it is, almost curious why there's loose ammunition in these people's bags.
This bullet scam has been around for years in different countries. Agent palms the bullet and "finds" it in the American's luggage. They tell them they can pay a "fine" on the spot or get arrested.
There was no bullet for TSA to find.
Are these people being scammed? Hard to believe 5 strangers charged with the same obscure offense. And how does one protect themselves from it?
Five people with a couple rounds of ammunition in their suitcase? I'm beginning to wonder if they are actually stupid enough to leave this stuff laying around or if they are all being set up. It's just too weird.
Bullet is planted to scam the American into paying a "fine". Common scam for years in different countries. Was very popular in the Philippines for years. The only problem with the scam is the limited number of times it can be run before people start thinking "Hey, wait a minute here. 50 Americans all arrested on one flight for having a single bullet in their luggage? Hmmmm."
It's a set up by the govenment of that island.
No, their answers/reasons proved they're gun owners and careless. And you, go bake a pie.
exactly who carrys 2 rounds its a set up
@@dannyphan1352 ... where's your proof, now suck on a Twinky.
It’s her own fault that she had that in her bag. When you leave America, you are no longer under our laws. And how did the TSA miss this AGAIN?!?!
The TSA has been tested by the US government and the result was a 92% fail rate.
They planted those bullets to frame an "american".
I smoke right before I get in airport smelling like heavy weed next to security 😂 love the look " this ghetto dude" L9VE THE ATTENTION 😂😂😂
The TSA allow them to take the bullets with them which is why they thought it's alright until it's not.

I think they are planting the ammo. How did it the TSA with all the screening they do miss it, or does the TSA not look for ammunition?
Correct. Well done. This is an old scam done in several countries.
Maybe baggage handlers steal from the bags and then to make sure the victim isn't in a position complain, they stick a couple of bullets in the suitcase, so when they arrive, they have bigger problems to about which to worry and aren't thinking about the missing items.
Bingo
TSA often miss a lot. Fact remains she should've taken time out to read up on the laws and customs of the country.
Second, she should've taken time out to examine her bags to make that any unnecessary, dangerous, etc items are not in the bag
Well let me help you here the TSA is full of DEI hired idiots. Hope that helps
If you are so clueless that you don't even know you have live ammo in your luggage, you should be banned from owning firearms.

That may be true. However, I don’t think they deserve 12 years in prison for it. It was a mistake. Maybe a dumb mistake but a mistake nonetheless.
if you are unable to keep track of your ammunition, you are not responsible enough to own a gun. good grief people!!!

How difficult is it to empty your luggage before you go on a trip? Dump your suitcase or duffle bag before you pack. Especially when you are going out of the country.
Better thought here for you. I have range bags for all my guns and ammo and they never cross paths with my travel luggage!!
Yeah, how about that? And who carries ammo in a suitcase to begin with? And wow, so many Americans getting caught with 1 or 2 bullets in their luggage. Boy oh boy, isn't that weird?
Yeah, it is weird because it never happened. The customs agent palms the bullet and "finds" it in the American's luggage. They tell them they can pay a "fine" on the spot or get arrested. This bullet scam has been around for years in different countries.
I'm old enough to remember when Americans could spot such an obvious scam. Those days seem past.
And leave the bedbugs at home😂
I thought the same thing, I generally remove everything from my luggage including the small zipper compartments. To ensure I am not bringing or taking back items that I should not. Another valuable lesson to ensure you are not being framed is to take pictures of your suitcase and to lock it.
You have too obey the laws in other countries

Why is everyone carrying bullets in luggage how odd
It is odd isn't it? Almost like maybe the bullet just happen to appear out of nowhere.

In the Turks and Caicos you carry guns and ammunition to kill people. America has convinced itself otherwise. But their delusions shouldn’t be our problem.
They want to keep a few tourists in town
Why do you have that in your suitcase?

this smells fishy to me. 5 americans in 3 months? something is not right.
The problem is that Americans are often stupid and ignorant. They think other countries have the same laws like the USA have. 😂
Turks and Caicos just instiuted this new law. The US TSA doesn't care if you have ammo in your baggage, nor do they care where you are going enough to warn you that you will be breaking another countrie's laws.
Does literally nobody clean out their suitcase after a trip or look in it. Its getting outrageous.

How do you not know where your ammunition is? Mine is either in a mag or in the original box. They aren’t just everywhere.
You must not shoot very much lol when you have thousands of rounds of ammo and shoot often it’s actually pretty easy to lose track of a few rounds here and there. I find ammo in the most random places. Also, it’s not good to keep all your mags loaded, you’ll wear out your springs. You should only keep a mag or two loaded for your personal defense firearm.
It’s just two rounds.
@@hands-ongaming7180It's suspicious that this is happening so often in the same place. You check your bag for liquids, razors, etc. 2 bullets???

Apparently she didn’t learn anything from what those other people did… What did she NOT GET???
Caught until now apparently.

This is getting to the point of where it seems a little unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely. If you've seen these national news stories over and over and you still don't think to check your luggage, which would take literally a few seconds, that's hard to believe. And they say they had no idea how they got there, and it wasn't caught before departure. Has it occurred to anyone else someone else put them there?
Bullet is planted to scam the American into paying a "fine". Common scam for years in different countries. Popular in the Philippines for years until it hurt tourism and they had to switch to other scams.
The bullet scam is a little tricky. When the agent offers the American to pay a "fine" to not get arrested and the American refuses the agent and all of customs management have to actually arrest the American. If they didn't the American would know it was a scam. But you can't arrest too many Americans before even Americans start to realize they're being scammed and tourists pick other countries.
These people are dense and should be held accountable, maybe a VERY stiff fine and a few days in jail but over a decade in jail for negligence and stupidity is just draconian and disproportionate to the crime.

So someone sets you up and you have to go to jail? What kind of foolery is this???
You cannot fix stupid. If you don;t know there are live rounds in your bag, then you cannot have a firearm. It is stupidity of the highest order. It is their own fault. A possible jail sentence should be a sobering thought. Thee is no one to blame but themselves.

Something sounds fishy, your bags should've been checked BEFORE you got on the plane to the island. How did they miss it, and did these people ever carry ammo in those bags?? I've never had loose ammo anytime I've gone shooting...
Stop taking ammo in your luggage when you visit a foreign country. I mean it's not any more complicated than that.
The other reports I've heard say 12 year mandatory sentence, not "up to 12 yrars" like this report states.
something sounds wrong somewhere these are americans going to another country so you telling me that the airport they are leaving from did not scan luggage by x ray or physical search its only when they are their that they find bullets and if you check it out its either 2 bullets or a few who would pack 2 or a few bullets and not pack a gun or even a clip somebody is setting these people up as far as i can picture it in my mind

This is check luggage, not carry-on

Thank you for explaining that. Until today, I sincerely did not know, that it was ok to pack ammunition in a checked bag . Hopefully, this will alert people to inspect their bags super thoroughly, before going anywhere.
@@flormorena3778
Actually, it’s not OK to just pack ammunition. If you’re going to transfer guns and ammunition on an airline, it must be packed separately and declared separately. What I meant to say is they for your carry-on luggage ammunition is prohibited. so they are checked a lot more carefully than checked luggage where one or two rounds of ammunition might be missed.
people use that luggage when traveling by car train, or bus where ammunition or weapons it’s not prohibited. Assuming you don’t travel to a different state with different rules. Even so it’s unlikely you would be caught by being so negligent. Apparently in Turks, they check all of your luggage. So if you’re traveling, you should clean out your bags if you’ve ever carried things that might be legal in other countries. Pot, THC cartridges, ammunition, spare gun parts, or even guns, which are constantly seized at US airports. About 1800 last year.
Maybe baggage handlers steal from the bags and then to make sure the victim isn't in a position complain, they stick a couple of bullets in the suitcase, so when they arrive, they have bigger problems to about which to worry and aren't thinking about the missing items.

How hard is it to check and clean your bags/ luggage before putting cloths and other items prior to your vacation
Possibly simple fix.. automatic sentence if they find YOUR fingerprints on the ammo.
If they find other fingerprints, then boom - you're free. Sounds like airport scam.
That's why they make locks for luggage.....
Or an even simpler fix… make sure there’s no ammo in your bag😂

Come on, people! You know this is happening! How about a thorough search of your bags BEFORE the trip? WTF?
Bullet is planted to scam the American into paying a "fine". Common scam for years in different countries.
If Americans keep on “accidentally” taking ammunition to Turks and Caicos, then what is happening around the world?
Curious if she even owns a gun or is somebody planting rounds in luggage as a set up?
There's a prankster at the airport.
No, these people did it to themselves.
You can't take THAT city girl life style out of the country
It’s her own fault. Stop being lazy and check ur bags before leaving to the airport
I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone of them.
This bullet scam has been around for years in different countries. Bullets were planted to get a "fine" paid to not get arrested. Some Americans refuse to pay. So although 5 or 6 Americans have been arrested there have been dozens of Americans who "settled out of court". These types of scams are common in many countries. Getting in and out of many African countries requires many "fines" to be paid for all kind of "illegal" things. "You took a picture of me!!! I'm calling the police unless you pay me $5!!!"
The bullet scam was very popular in Philippines for many years until tourist flow slowed down and the gov told the agents to stop. Now they run other scams like "expedited" service for some "required" gov thing.
They're planting the ammunition!
Why are people still making this mistake? You have no business owning a gun if you can’t remember where you put your ammunition.
Where did she say she owned a gun?!?!.
@@roseeze166 why have ammunition if you don’t have a gun?
This just happened to an American man a few weeks ago! When will people understand that these places don't play?
I have thee hardest time believing this.. 😑something about this is off… and/or something deeper is going on with that island because what are the odds
Send her to jail,no holds barred. She knows the law,but brought it anyway. Don’t let the perps go,set the example or forget about your laws meaning anything. No break whatsoever,stupid,woman,or otherwise,doesn’t change the law. Neither does an ex president.
You sound butt hurt
Anger management.
So nobody so going to question why there have been so many incidents of American tourists having ammunition in their bags lately. What's the deal with this happening all the sudden?
Please keep her in jail down there
