Counterfeit is out.

I recently heard on the news that any passenger of flights overseas , especially to the US, who is caught carrying counterfeit and pirated goods in their baggages, will be sent back home and deported with no questions asked.

According to the Los Angeles Criminal Defense Blog | California Criminal Attorneys Law Blog, when counterfeit or pirated copies of products, especially high-end ones are made, the companies that manufacture these products lose millions in dollars in sales. No wonder the airlines has issued the warning to all the travelers. It would help crack down counterfeit goods if people coming inside the US don’t carry pirated items. It would be no use to try and track down piracy inside if they didn’t implement a stricter rule on the incoming goods brought by the travelers.
