I would advise against going to Mexico and trying to bring gear back across the border. I made the trip for 13 years with no problems, but a couple of months ago I ended up being searched by the TJ police. It's just not worth the risk.
BUMMER, I really wonder what they care about,
It must be political, someone has said, cut down on gear being brought back by tourist.
The Mexican government would not do anything on their own, first they are incompetent and corrupt
Second, they simply could not accomplish this without American pressure,
But why, there is no pressure to stop illegal immigration, why would they care about gear.
They don’t care about real drugs, like pot, smack, cocaine.
I can’t see Arnold doing anything, I can’t see any state doing anything, it must be Federal, but why, it is so confusing, and simply doesn’t make sense.
Hurts tourism, and makes it a bitch for body builders to go buy gear and enjoy Mexico.
