    We took our college-age kids on their first international vacation this year to Cozumel.
    I literally gathered them all in the living room and gave them all the rules to follow when traveling internationally. I even told them that they didn't know what to do to come find me, and w4e must triple-check anything. We want to bring back into the country to make sure we can import it via customs. I even talked to them about the process of declaring items when you come back into the United States.
    I took my family out of the country. And it was my responsibility to make sure they were prepared. The trip went off without a hitch. I've also traveled all over the world for leisure and work. I've known for twenty years to look up the rules before I land on foreign shores. I've had spectacular adventures all over the planet.
    I have sympathy for these situations. But in the age of the internet, nobody should be getting caught off guard by rules in other countries. This is a very hard lesson many Americans need to learn. American rights do not follow you outside of our borders.

We were detained by security, the police were called to the port, the ship security came off the ship. It was a big deal (for us). My husband had to write a statement of explanation and we turned over the rounds to the police officer. Thankfully we were still allowed to sail.

      Funny thing is that I took a trip recently and had a bunch of my jewelry in a bag. They held back my purse and luggage, passing several other bags that were behind mine in front of mine. I kept staring at the agent at the place that you put the bag on the belt because I felt uncomfortable with him. When he finally sent it through, they decided to search my bag. TSA admitted they wanted to check the jewelry. That was the sole reason they wanted to search the bag and went straight for the compartment it was in. So the technology is there to definitively say what an object is before the bag was opened. They were using the 3D x-rays so they could see that the jewelry wasn't concealing any drugs or anything. I had to chastise them for demanding to go through my jewelry. I wasn't coming from overseas where they might have been interested in what I had failed to declare, but they went through my stuff until I got nasty because that specific reason for a search was actually illegal. So now how is it that they missed bullets with all of these people?

    Turks and Caicos just recently introduced the penalty of 12 years for tourists caught with ammunition. Before they paid a fine. The fine was not a sufficient deterrent. That also means that there were tourists bringing in ammo for the wrong reasons, and all using the same excuse. Your hear one side of the story. "It was not my intent". Yet five persons are facing sentencing since the 12 year penalty was introduced. You only need to smuggle in one bullet to harm someone. And I am sure someone would pay a high price just to secure that one bullet. I would like to hear the side of the Turks and Caicos police.

    How is this situation going to frighten others from traveling there? Why are they even using the bags they use for hunting to travel with? Like someone else in the comments mentioned, I have a separate suitcase and carry-on foe travel. If I were a hunter, I would have a separate bag for that, which would be stored in a separate location in my house or storage area. I think they were taking ammunition over there for other reasons, but got caught. Common sense would say check the laws of other countries before going, but not all sense is common.🤷🏾‍♀️

    This is so American (speaking as an American). The funny thing is these individuals are usually the main ones saying, "if you don't want to go to jail, than don't break the law." Let me honest, he only has a problem with it because he got caught. I only give a bit of sympathy to the first person who got arrested right after the law changed. But at this point, there is no excuse. I don't understand why someone would just have random rounds of ammunition in their bag. As adults, we have to take accountability and make sure we understand the laws of other countries.
    And everyone keeps saying that how did it get through TSA. We are assuming he had it in a carry-on; it could have been in a checked bag. In that case, you are allowed to carry ammunition. So you can get out of the country with a weapon/bullets, but it doesn't mean you won't get in trouble where you are going.

    I suppose this is what happens when you get over complacent with gun laws. Yes it was only four rounds of ammunition, an insignificant amount. But how do the authorities in the Caribbean know he isn’t supplying it to someone who already has the gun for it? It would only take one bullet to kill a person! Here in England where we have very strict gun laws he would also be in very serious trouble if found with any ammunition.
    I’m sorry to say he has committed a serious crime in that country (it may only be classed as a minor mistake in the USA) and now has to face the consequences however bad they seem. It may seem a very minor thing in America to inadvertently carry four rounds of ammunition, but in other countries it’s considered to be a serious offence. He should have checked his bags thoroughly when he packed them. Or have a separate bag entirely for his guns and ammunition and never use it for travelling.

    So here's the thing. Look at it from Turks and Caicos. If it was one American once or twice a year, that would be maybe cause for asking for leniency. But this is the 5th American in 5 months. If this is average over the years..... we are looking at around 12 times a year over who knows how many years. That from a citizen of Turk and Caicos is a complete disrespect of an entire nation laws.
    If this was the other way around. If it was a law that say Germans or Koreans broke once a month every time a tourist came here, Americans would be outraged and not have any sympathy for those "foreigners" no matter if each one of the offenders says it's an honest mistake and they shouldn't be held to the law that the rest of the nation is held to.
    Also where is the travel agents, the family member, SOMEONE telling people that they should look into the country they are going to and their laws. You would think with as much as this is in the news as of late, people would be scouring the laws of other countries instead of blaming those countries for enforcing the laws. At some point those countries won't be friendly to Americans because they won't lose all their tourism if they make American non-gratis to their country.
