<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nyatii, post: 3705199, member: 85686&quot;]It depends on who you get that day, and I wouldn&#039;t depend on it being the same each time. I&#039;ve watched different customs agents make different decisions even though they are standing side by side. </p><p><br /></p><p>An Example:</p><p>I was next to a fellow coming back from Africa where he had sport-hunted. Several years before he had sport-hunted an elephant and had a belt and boots made from part of the hide here in the US. Anticipating trouble bringing them back into the country he went to customs, had them photograph and document the items, and customs signed a paper stating they approved these items and they were legal. When our flight arrived, he was in front of me int the customs line. They confiscated the belt and boots and told him they didn&#039;t care what documents he had from other customs agents. They all but strip-searched him in line. Because he was holding up everything, they started a new line for me and only wanted to see the serial numbers of my guns. They didn&#039;t care about the packets of gravel (emeralds) and the small statues (ivory) that I had. Just the guns. This was in 2000.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
