I agree... if going anywhere by flight: check everything anyway. Personally I think it's good to keep kids away from drugs but the punishment has to fit the crime. Hi Born in Dubai.

If by chance you been so "carelessly" flying to Dubai with "that exact jacket", you would have either got a death sentence or have it reduced to life in prison !!! and this is not Bullshit... I just happen to know stories of this kind. The thing behind all of it is the fact that the ruler (Sheikh) there got sick of drugs spreading in schools... and he himself made these rules. Dubai, London or Amsterdam... Don't misunderstand me but I just don't understand how people fly without even checking their own pockets before it :) Man don’t even think about what ifs… If by chance you been so “carelessly” flying to Dubai with “that exact jacket”, you would have either got a death sentence or have it reduced to life in prison !!! and this is not Bullshit… I just happen to know stories of this kind.

Sorry Grooverider ..I feel 4 ya.. but c'mon..weed in a Arabic airport... I learned never carry evidence on you nevertheless in a fucking airport! Where in the states its the difference between a federal and state prison committing a crime in an airport. It’s sad..

Sucks for him but what is he doing travelling with drugs anyway, Im sure where ever he goes he can get some from whom ever he deals with when he arrives.

My wife is in architecture and Dubai is really one of the leading cities in that field right now. I think in somewhere like London you can't do anything vaguely innovative, architecturally, but in Dubai they're happy for any crazy-ass development to take place as long as the $$ is right. So it would be quite amazing to see... But 4 years for 1 strike is incredibly harsh... Amazing story about the jacket though! I bet you would've had a heart attack if you discovered it going through security *ignorance is bliss* I’d love to go to Dubai.
