Any idea where you read this? To my knowledge, what you described is not the case but I may be wrong.

Unless she or someone can post a link to verify this, I would say you are ok at this point.
A lot of this "I heard this somewhere" or "I read this somewhere" going around of late and most is not factual.

Geno said: Hello everyone, I read somewhere that after customs and before you exit the airport that the customs agents are inspecting your luggage now for any food items you may bring on the island. Is this in fact true, as we bring frozen items every year.
Thank you. Geno It was posted here (can't find it) that SXM was conducting inspection AFTER luggage carousel on arrival when a flight arrived from, I believe, South America. Looking for drugs and unfortunately no separate carousal for that flight so luggage mixed in from stateside flights was being checked thus delaying people. But I haven't heard that was still being done so not sure. That may have been what your spouse heard about.

Geno Maybe she just wants to go out to dinner every night or at least less cooking?
