Same thing happened to my sister in Feb. I think it it shocking when you have an "official" security person in uniform approach you whilst in the Jetstar queue. What are you suppose to do? Reminds me of the time my husband, me and the 3 kids were escorted into a small room when arriving in Bali- had to hand over the cash for 5 x Visas (125USD). I watched the official walk over to the desk and get 5 old used receipts.(Mmmm where did my cash go- I'm sure you can guess). Anyway I told hubby to keep quiet and we would be fine so long as we got our receipts. We were then given OK to collect our bags, ahead of all our friends still waiting in the long queues. Love Bali (been 25+ times) but still feel vunerable at the airport!!!!!!
