Santiago airport
Airport security confiscated a bunch of "dulce jalaito de coco" from my carry on bag. I always would travel will all of my Dominican candy in my carry on so the maleteros in USA would no steal them from my bags...

They told me that this is a new rule and you can not carry on dulce like jalaito, and tabla de leche... They said that it had to go in my check in bag.

Is this true??? Or did the airport guards want the packs of dulce for themselves?

I left all my rum and other stuff in my check-in bags and everything was there when I returned to the states.

Sadly it is true....new rules for all flights bound to the States!! It caused many flights delays and cancellations here at Pearsons Airport! So many angry passangers!!

They told me I could eat some of it there but I could not take it onboard. Also, I could not go back outside to give the candy back to my fiance(since I had already passed imigration... But I had 2 carry on bags and one pack of jalaitos made it in my other bag .... I will try it again on my next trip and see if they take it... Ladrones

When you have to transfer in Florida like me... you never know what could be missing. I have found that buying Presidente that comes in the box helps. When you pack loose bottles you always end up with a few bottles missing... Also, I did sajomero's trick and brought back my rum and whiskey in the gallon size...
