trying to sneak stuff thru is a risky business and folks should be warned of the risks of taking contraband.
those customs agents mean business and getting caught is not a pleasant experience.
my observations on the long lines and delays dealing with customs is the aruba customs... that is where the crack down and the searches have really taken hold over the past 8 months or so.
aruba customs is located right outside the baggage claim area (arrivals) at the airport.

Has anyone noticed any difference in Customs this year? I would hate not to be able to bring back home a couple of Cuban cigars.
