Customs Officer asking perfumes

A Filipino worker returning from Madrid recently had a harrowing experience with the Customs. A lady Customs officer asked him for money, perfumes, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, shoes, and milk, among others.

On refusing, he was suitably harassed even with a threat of being shot down.

DDT has learnt that recently an Airport Customs in India had seized liquor bottles from an Immigration official. It is only a matter of time before the Immigration guys retaliate. You should realise whether the powers are vested in you or wasted in you.
