Anyone ever swabbed or pat down entering Jamaica?
These stories bring back bad memories of being pulled out of line departing Cali Colombia and taken for futher screening.Holes poked in luggage,everything searched twice and then being told I would be taken to a hospital for body x-ray.
Matt got swabbed at Atlanta coming home from Jamaica. They swabbed his hands, feet, shoes and almost everything in his carry-on bag. They took him aside and explained that our i-pod dock looked like a "b word". I thought they meant the female dog "b-word" and the lady laughed at me then she whispered "bomb". They were nice about it.

I got the full monty leaving MBJ in July of 2011. Private room, invasive search, intense interrogation. Which, since I teach 'verbal judo', was fookin hilarious. This was all due to the fact that JA security forces can't tell the difference in appearance between an ethnic Russian and an Arab terrorist. Or, maybe they can.....
Anyway, the security people were as rude as could be and did not like being verbally sparred with. Then, a hour later, the same fookin staff came and pulled me out of the boarding line and repeated the process. Tamminator almost got arrested for going off on security for the second search.

Not an airport story but a Jamaica related one (I think)...every year we make the trip from CT to MI to our families lake cottage...To cut time off the trip we pass through Canada...The border guards in Canada have always been courteous and professional...The U.S., not so much...Last year it got nasty...we had driven through Canada and were re-entering the good old USA...the guard took our passports and gave me a funny look...she then told me not to be nervous but she was going to ask me to do a few things...keep your hands on the wheel where I can see them! Don't look at me! Look straight forward! I ask what is happening, she says be quiet, don't look at me! Take your right hand and open the car door from the outside...this proves to be nearly impossible without removing my left hand from the wheel and causes the guard to have some kind of fit...I'm still not allowed to look anywhere but straight ahead...finally exit the car I am instructed to walk backwards until I'm behind my vehicle, legs spread, arms in the air, handcuffed, and escorted into a building, still with no explanation at all...as I am walking into the building I can see why I wasn't allowed to look back...all traffic had been diverted from the border crossing and there were no fewer than 10 agents behind me, several with assault weapons or handguns pointed at me...the same treatment for my adult son too, the wife was spared from the trauma...after much questioning they decided to let us be on our way (they claimed to be looking for someone with a similar name and I got flagged on their system) I feel they may have singled us out due to only having Jamaican stamps in our passports. Our luggage was all opened and rifled through, it was left open and scattered in the back with dog hair all over it from the mangy cop dog they let walk all over it...
As a side note... Due to the patriot act this can happen to anyone at any time with no explanation...and we have no recourse...hmmmmm. Land of the free, home of the brave?
We'll see what happens this year...
HOLY MOLY! That is scary SH#*T
