question: we were flying out of the Punta Cana airport yesterday going to Miami. The DR airport security searched our luggage and I had a empty clear bottle of the mamajawanna sticks/leaves which as most of you know is probally the most common suvouniior (sp) in DR. well, security took the bottle and said I couldn't take it and they threw it in a trash barrel.
While waiting for our flight I looked in the airport gift shop, and guess what? The airport sells the EXACT same bottle!!!!! I asked the workers why can they sell the same exact thing that they won't let me take??? THey shook their heads and didnt know...
again, it was the SAME EXACT ITEM!!!!!!!
I feel like this is a big scam by the DR goverment! Can someone explain how they can get away with this?
