Another fear when flying - customs and smuggling

[HairsonUnique]

Two men caught smuggling gold into airport under their wigs

The suspects were stopped at the exit at Chennai International Airport when officials became suspicious of their hairstyles

At least lace shouldn't have this issue!

Why is this sh*t here? If you're wearing a hair system and you're not smuggling anything, you have no need to worry about any of this. Also another lesson: if you don't want to attract negative attention, don't wear a ridiculously fake looking wig!

What if they think I am smuggling gold now? Or even worse, what if they think I am smuggling drugs?

Guys like them ruin things for everybody else, but hopefully it won't be some problem where you're really looked at suspiciously over it.

But at least you could put the system back on in the far fetched case that they made you remove it to be searched, guess it's best to carry your removal and glue products with you on your trip lol. It does seem far fetched though since I believe they have xrays and metal detectors which just wouldn't show anything unless you were actually trying to commit a crime

I don't like the idea of being accused of drug smuggling when the only drug I would ever do is GOFCL (Good old fashioned clean living!).

Maybe I shouldn't fly in the future.

Haha soon they'll ban flying with hair systems. Then it's really over.

 

[HairsonUnique]

Do you think they would? Flying has become quite unpleasant with what they have banned already. I am talking small bottles of liquids and not being allows to take your own food.

How many people men and women who wear wigs use airports throughout the year?....worldwide it would be many 1000's, do you think they will get them to remove their wigs? If the piece has metal clips then the scanners will probably pick it up but that's about it.
