Ezeiza International Airport Security Warning in Argentina
Ezeiza International Airport Security Warning in Argentina
In July of 2007, Argentina's TV network "Canal 13" conducted an investigation revealing that a group of security operators at the airport are stealing valuable objects such as iPods, digital cameras, cellular phones, sun glasses, jewelry and laptops while scanning the checked luggage of passengers. According to the special report, security operators at the airport should check each bag before putting it into the plane; however, some operators take advantage of the scanner machine to detect valuable objects and steal them. The report states that this event occurs every day and that the stolen items include anything from electronic devices to perfumes and works of art.
Travelers and residents are strongly encouraged to place high-value items in their carry-on luggage to prevent any incidents.
note: police officers will often try to get you to bribe them during a traffic ticket.
the best thing to do is to give them the money(they will keep you at a stop for a long time if you don't)
however, if you do wish to take the ticket they will give it to you with out any problems.
