Thread: bringing computer hardware into LOS

Depends on what they find your "friend" has put on the hard drive.

Very unlikely it will even be searched (they'll probably toss one of your checked bags into the x-ray machine before you depart the customs area)- I've brought a lot of electronics stuff through customs over the years, and I've never had a single problem.

why , you can buy new for less once you are in town

Many thanks for any feedback,

I do it all the time, they couldn't care less, unless you look suspicious and they want to make your life miserable

Sand to the Sahara?

That's because he always requests the cavity search though.

Thus speaks the voice of experience.
