^ Yes, I keep hearing the horror stories about their situation, both on the news and from a colleague of mine who left Venezuela to come to the US.  It's why I don't mind ordering games from the sellers down there, because at least they get some income, but customs is making it impossible.

^^ It's also puzzling to me that inspectors bother to manually open game boxes and cartridges.  I figure they must be looking for drugs, and that somebody must have tried smuggling some inside a game at least once for them to do this at all.  I agree that using dogs would be much more efficient and reliable.

...same bad experience for me, a few years ago they destroyed an Atari 2600 cartridge.
I thought it was Italian customs but now I wonder if the packages are checked directly in Venezuela before the expatriation.

There was an NES game found packed with drugs a while back.
