all bags are xrayed before collection.Bottles show up.before the 'no liquids' on board rule I'd take in hand luggage litres of white wine in apple juice bottles,red wine in raspberry juice containers,even bourbon in diet dry bottles.if they see more alcohol your bags are marked with a chalk cross.marked from the inside of the conveyor belt.so pick up your bags and walk backwards so customs do not see the chalk-do a slow casual walk to the dunnies and remove the chalk cross.
if this dont work and you are sprung-never ask how much-you offer to pay the tax.I pulled this stunt off once. offered Rp20,000 said its all i had and he accepted.christ people in the 'settlement room' were handing over US20/30...idiots.
