They seem to like to run the x-ray machine when Canadian planes land. It's understandable.

It means; that it is often run when Canadian flights have landed, a common occurrence. O boy. Talk about batting a hornets nest. ๐คฃ

Whale Tail--yes, landing before the crowd of planes is always a good thing. And we drive 3.5 hours to Miami normally, so we often have to get up in the middle of the night, so I get you, for sure.

Canada legalized marijuana so Canadians may bring some in. SXM still strict on pot. Perhaps on bringing it in via your flight but they don't seem to be too strict on it once you are there. Take a whiff, you will smell it many places.

Many people comment that Customs and the x-ray machines are scanning bags when a Canadian flight has landed. I, personally, don't understand the correlation but there must be some reasoning.

I don't think so. It has never happened when travelling on Westjet. When planes land from South America, they are looking for drugs.

I couldnโt begin to guess how many SXM arrivals weโve made over the years - probably in excess of a hundred Iโm thinking - and we have never had our bags scanned upon arrival to the best of my knowledge. Does anyone know as fact why this is apparently done so?
Respectfully,

I don't have nearly that many trips, Pat, maybe 50, but I do not know of any occasion when our bags were scanned either. Obviously, they are looking for SOMETHING. Logic would indicate that they are looking for something illegal, and most likely it is drugs, but it could be something else that is illegal. In some cases, it could be knock off goods, perhaps. My guess is that in most instances, they have a tip to look for something specific, and that's why the scan. I have heard that they routinely scan the Copa flights, in those cases looking for drugs in all likelihood. But facts? I doubt anyone here would be in possession of facts, as I doubt anyone in a position to know would actually say for certain, except as to one particular incident in the past.
