When you travel overseas are you concern about the weight of your luggages?
Most of us worry about breaching maximum weight limit, not allowing to take the water bottle, your favourite moisturising cream… However there are fearless travellers who do not think twice to pack what ever they want to take out of the country or bring back to the country. Either they are fearless and trying to check their luck or simply not aware of the protocols at the airports.
We have hilarious stories, of travellers who attempted to break the rules and regulations of customs.
Built In Aquarium
As you may aware, you cannot bring back plants, animals from other countries without proper authorisation. Some are forbidden. This lady not only breach that but breach the 100ml liquid rule as well. She tried to smuggle 50 tropical fish under her skirt ! She has designed an apron to hold 15 water containers so she could bring fish back home.
Animal lovers
There is a passenger who tried to bring down plant seeds and bird eggs which was illegal and the customs officers later found two live pigeons padded in to his trousers.
Another lady tried to bring a Tiger cub along with stuffed toys in her suitcase. X-ray scanners was not able to detect the cub but the officials found, when the bag started moving as the cub tried to get out of the suitcase. Needless to say both passengers ended up behind bars.
Spiders and bugs are distressing for most people but not for this couple. They have stolen nearly 200 live bugs (millipedes, crickets, spiders and other various insects) from their trip to Peru.
