What was airport inspector in Curacao looking for?
When I left Curacao, an unfriendly guard was asking everybody to open
their bags for inspection. He was really digging through things. He unzipped small cases and even felt around the lining of my jacket. He didn't know how to pack clothes folding my tie in eighths and my jacket in quarters. I didn't say anything because he looked like a street thug with attitude who was put in a uniform. Had it been the US, I would have said, "Hey, my clothes are going to get wrinkled." What was he looking for? It could not have been explosives because the places he was looking were too small. Also, there are tests for explosives which are easier to do and more accurate. It would not make sense to search for drugs going out of your country. Using dogs to check for drugs would be quicker and more accurate. I have never had anybody inspect my bags like that going into or out of any country. They did not even do that in China. I will never go to Curacao again and that guard is one of the reasons. I can find better hotels, beaches, and more accommodating people in Aruba. Also Aruba is much safer than Curacao. --multiplaza.nl.nu-- |

Not sure where you flying to, but they regularly check for drugs on outgoing
flights from Netherlands Antilles to the Netherlands/Amsterdam, as they are a transit point for drugs, due to the proximity to mainland. That does not however give the excuse for the attitude.
