LOL...you have an honest face billd! I have a little insight into how Customs operates. My father woked for Customs for 20+ years. They can not a...

LOL...thank you very little mminstx 🙂 OK, let me cut to the chase before the lynch mob forms,,,, First and foremost, I really do want to un...

LOL....BUT I'm not done yet! Yeah, yeah, wishful thinking.....:D If there's a problem with guns and drugs flowing freely into these islands, wher...

Man, I don't even know how to respond to that one, Michael. I think that an awful lot of people feel that way. They see it as hopeless so why bother? ...

I'm in absolute agreement with you. I think that you're right on the money when looking at the root of the problem. I'm focused in another area on thi...

Greeting Michaelds9 I understand that it may appear that I'm saying that guns are the problem. Not so. I am a strong proponent of responsible gun...

I don't know either. I'm hoping that some people that do know chime in. Is it TSA that performs the scans/searches etc? Isn't their primary responsibl...

My opinion is that a tip should always be voluntary and based upon the level of service. I do not feel obligated to pay 18% if the service is poor. I'...

Agreed, dougtamjj

Yes. Native Son had some excellent suggestions including, I believe, a sweep of the island to find the guns. It would need to be done after the flow o...

Thanks, Lizard. I've always thought that looking out through security bars would be terrible. Now, I'd install them in a heartbeat if they were within...

Greetings dougtamjj Legal guns brought in for personal safety may contribute to the problem but probably only in a minor way.

Great advice. Thanks dougtamjj. The problem with fans is the same problem as with AC - power outages. This house has a double roof - tin over concrete...

A single cutter, in and of itself, certainly couldn't intercept and inspect all the boats but it does have the technology to spot and track them all, ...

Yeah,,,agreed, Lizard. The guns and drugs that are already on the island are a big problem.

Yeah...airport security can be quite lax. On the other hand, when I tried to carry on a piece of medical equipment that the inspectors in the Dominica...

Greetings Trade and Bombi. Thanks for your responses. A thorough search of all incoming cargo would certainly apply part of the choke hold. That ...
