Some friends that had never been to Bali before were made to purchase padlocks for their bags before they could check in on their way home back in July. The guys at the first bag screening as you enter international departures took them to a kiosk and demanded 100,000 per padlock. My friends said on this night they were stopping all people and making them do this so they assumed it was a must. Only after they go to the check in counter, they asked the staff about this being a requirement and were advised not required.
