We get tourists from around all the world daily, and when they come through the airport or by boat, Custom do not search, their luggage like returned naive Antiguans and Caribbean nationals. People who work in the hotel industry can tell you what some of these returning tourist brings in their luggage. Everyone entering through our borders should be searching thoroughly. We don’t have scanner system that scanned luggage coming into the country.
Another thing, all these vessels coming in for Sailing Week are another concern. The authorities need to realize that we are living in a real-world that is changing rapidly before our eyes faster than we expected. We need to upgrade our security borders procedures every year or every two years.
People from other countries come into antigua, check out the lawless states, to see how quick they can make money from selling illegal drugs and illegal weapons to our young mem who are trigger hungry.
The government needs to take security borders seriously, so we can reduce the amount of illegal weapons and drugs coming into the country.
