Bullets in your baggage...

Years ago, there were stories about Americans vacationing in Philippines who were detained by airport security when a single bullet was found in a coat pocket. Arrested and forced to pay fines to be released from jail. The 'bullet-planting' scandal was eventually resolved by investigation.
Twice this month, I've seen stories about Americans with bullets in their luggage. They were detected in a foreign country while on vacation. Security there isn't lenient in the least. Prison and huge fines. One guy is facing a 12-year sentence.

No guns... only a few bullets that (he said) wasn't cleaned out of his luggage before going on a trip.

Some reader comments did ask the question as to why the bullets weren't found by security scanning BEFORE they left the US?

Bullets in your baggage... Don't leave home with them!

They need to pay more attention to the criminals in those countries. I can see how it happens. I grab loose bullets on my way out to shot a coon or possum. And they end up in my pockets. I have even found them in my town coat cause happened to be wearing it when I charge outside after coming in.
They should look at the bottom of women's purses.rolling on the floor laughing I couldn't believe mom. She took out her purse to fill for town. Came home, emptied it and back in closet!wow
