A long wait upon arrival no matter if its Customs or Immigration in a country is STILL a long wait.
Travel transit through London Heathrow and there are 3 to 4 checks before getting to a departure lounge. Arriving Panama, Cuba etc are all jungles.
Leaving Nassau for the US is ALWAYS a long wait, unnecessarily stressful and degrading and clearing Customs in Miami from any latin country is a nightmare!
Bahamas Customs confiscated goods proves x-ray "super tight" security is a joke based on the competence level of the individual operating the machine at point of origin.
If Customs were actually on a work to rule exercise, they are not receiving what is justly theirs and MUST do whatever is necessary to bring pressure to this lousy, incompetent government....GOOD!
**......................................... Dr. Minnis *REALLY* needs to *STFU* .........................................**
Dr. Minnis can start the ball rolling by disclosing the whereabouts of the $5 Million his former Cabinet colleague and minister of tourism absconded with through his shell companies and demanding immediate action with the Fred Ramsey BEC bribe case!
I beg to differ on "things taking care of themselves". Haiti was once a prosperous country and is a perfect example of how systemic political corruption and friends, family and lovers governance will destroy a country.
We need to act, and act now to remove both PLP and FNM before they take us the point of no return with Haitian style governance.
The only possible cure for the massively entrenched systemic corruption in Bahamas is get rid of the PLP and FNM so corruption can be fully investigated and rooted out..**.period.**
As long as either PLP or FNM are in power, they will continue protecting the other because both are equally corrupt, therefore unable to hold the other accountable for corruption!
**......................... Pull your heads out of your ass's and be honest .............................**
Firstly, Bahamas Customs has a job to do which require them to follow established protocols to protect our borders.
That being said, tourist and Bahamians alike are subjected to equally frustrating long waits coupled with rude degrading treatment on departure through US Customs & Immigration border patrol every bloody day and not one of you ignorant talking heads have sense enough to similarly complain!
Secondly, having traveled repeatedly to Cuba, Mexico, Turks and Caicos, Bermuda, Canada, Africa, London, Jamaica, Panama, Ecuador, as well as experiencing US Customs clearance in Florida, long frustrating waits at Customs are not at all unusual and to be expected and personally one of the main reasons many experienced travelers including myself choose not to travel unless absolutely necessary.
Bahamas Customs would also be harshly ridiculed by you people if they failed to adequately do their jobs and allowed drugs, arms and pathogens to enter the country, so they are dammed if they do, and doubled dammed if they don't anyway!
As a realist, **I highly commend Bahamas Customs** for taking the required time under pressure with the difficult job of thoroughly inspect each and every passenger as required no matter how long it takes. The fact that they confiscated items is proof positive they are on the ball.
**Keep up the good works Bahamas Customs and Immigration, you are much appreciated!**
**................ PLP and FNM damage to date is all but irreparable already! ............**
Given the state of our country and decimated condition of our people after 43 years of PLP and FNM leadership, in the name of Jehovah God I can not think of any sound reason why any halfway intelligible thinking individual would entertain the thought of voting for either party at this juncture!
Absolute and complete annihilation of Bahamians and the Bahamas as we know it, is a foregone surety if we are stupid enough to return them to power.
**Where are the "human rights" concern for the Bahamian stomped by police on the bridge?**
How and why should we give a flying phuck about migrants rights when Bahamians can be stomped in the streets by our own police and no one raised as mush as an eyebrow?
Imagine the international outcry had a Haitian, Jamaican, Chinese, Latino or Asian had been stomped by police in the streets of Nassau!
**Bahamians "heard" about all sitting and past Parliamentarians for decades**
What has the country gained from "hearing" about present and past PLP and FNM MP's?
They collectively drove our country to near fail state status and are world renown as thieving, corrupt pirates and failures in every possible imaginable sphere of managing our affairs.
We have "heard" and seen more than enough about the PLP and FNM corrupt pirates!
