    As an american: no mercy. You should always be looking up whether its legal to transfer weapons when you visit another country.

      There is zero evidence that any of these people arrested were intentionally bringing ammo into their country. The woman in the article was actually caught with 2 rounds in her bag when she was leaving the country.

      She accidentally had two rounds of loose ammo by the sound of it. She didn’t transfer a weapon.

          So you are worried about them smuggling bullets 2 at a time INTO the U.S.? Seems pretty ineffective. This is just advocating for harassing people over doing something stupid with no intent to hurt anyone. They needed to be more responsible, give them a fine. Imprisonment should be recouperating people

              No they flew out of the U.S. and TSA missed the bullets. They finished their trip, then they were stopped getting on the plane back to the U.S. They would be smuggling them into the U.S. If they were stopped going to that country, they would have been stopped by TSA and questioned on U.S. soil. For the most part, there isn’t airport security when you get off a plane or switch terminals if you have a layoff

                  “Grier, who was on her way back to Florida when she was detained, appeared in court Thursday, police said. Her next hearing is July 5.”

                  The TSA also told the news reporters they missed ammo elsewhere in the article. It was all there

          I mentioned in another thread how stories like this convinced me to never use the same bag for travel as your daily driver. It made people sad.
