So, did the TSA in the US fail to find these ammunition?
-
Over 20 rounds n not know its in your bag really?
-
Who packs ammo for a vacation and "forgets"? Lame excuse.
-
Question…. can a Turks citizen go to America with these same demands? 🤔
-
If our Homeland Security / TSA was doing their jobs? None of these people would be in the predicament they are in 🤷🏽♂️. 😂😂😂
-
You don’t hunt there- you scuba dive!😂
-
Why the F are you taking ammunition on vacation?
-
The same people that yelled Britney Grinner should have followed the law of Russia are the same people defending these law beakers.😒
-
I would bet the American delegation thoroughly checked their baggage, carry ons, and pockets.
-
Traveling with ammunition to another country??? WTF??
-
They broke their law. When you travel, it is incumbent on you to know the laws of where you are visitng as a tourist and ensure you are complient. No pity for those who obviously broke the law.
-
Simple solution. Americans keep your ammo and firearms in America. And no they should not get a pass on obeying the laws of another country. Who is America to talk about the conditions of prisons in another country, when US jails aren’t exactly a suite at the Ritz. Bully boy tactics don’t work with everyone America.
-
Travelling to any country outside your own, do your research and know the laws before you go. If you are incapable of respecting the laws of the country you are travelling to stay home. In Singapore chewing gum or logging on to someones wifi without permission is illegal either one of those will land you in one of their prisons for 10 years.

How do you not know what's in your luggage...
-
They weren’t wrongfully convicted. Remember how MAGA treated WNBA star GRiner. Yeah. I don’t wanna hear nothing 🤬🤬 let them deal w a fine and jail time like her.
-
Why did they not know they had ammunition in their bag? Most of us pack very carefully bc you go through scanners. It doesn't sound likely.
-
I have visited Turks and Caicos at least four times. I have never had a problem. I enjoy the vitality of the people in Turks and Caicos.
-
There are two issues here. It is illegal in USA to carry live ammunition on an aircraft. A friend of mine from Turks was arrested in the States carrying an empty clip which was a present from his uncle. Straight to jail. It seems that with our scanners here we pick up items such as live ammo which TSA failed to detect and allowed passengers to board planes in USA. I do not believe the penalties will be too severe but the law is very clear on weapons and ammunition.
-
I would not say wrongly detained! Know the laws of a country you are visiting. I doubt they are targeting Americans ( USA). If a citizen of that country is caught with bullets they certainly will go to jail.
-
I’m sorry but why the hell would Turks and Caicos want to target the US I promise yall we don’t wan do nun harmful to all yall people so idk what typa foolishness that man talking bout.
