In Reply to: Customs in Oz, on the return. posted by Bob Bali on Wednesday, 20. April 2005 at 13:28 Bali Time:
This happened to me a few months ago except it was US Customs they were checking everyone under 35 returning from anywhere in SE Asia They were definitely looking for drugs about four flights came in at the sometime so it was a long wait to get searched & you could not leave the line or go to the rest room. The thing that sucked is it takes 24 hours from DPS to SFO & I just wanted to get home to bed.
They must have had a tip on 'drugs' I had a case of Bintang & a case of wine bunch of DVD's they should have confiscated the DVD's and charged a tax for the beer and wine over the one liter allowed. They ignored it but they did go thru every inch on my bags & gave me a pat down
