And anyone who gets hot and impatient waiting on busy days, I can only say...too bad, so sad; cry me a river; toughen up princess; build a bridge and get over it...

Hope those guys take no s*** from anybody! (0!)

You get my drift. ;-)

I think this is a good thing, but sniffer dogs are the only solution as it’s not practical to search every car in holiday season. If I have just driven from KZN and have to wait behind 30 day visitors and then offload my car for a search I’m not going to be jumping with joy. =O: =O:

It’s not a border post, so sniffer dogs should make things quicker -O-

I am for full search of every vehicle, as well as using sniffer dogs, metal detectors and whatever other means there is of checking a car for contraband.

Do we want tighter security at the gates or not?

I understand Sprocky, but one needs to be practical about it. My bakkie is full to the roof on a KNP visit. It will take them half an hour of offload my car and another half an hour to pack it back so that it all fits again.

I will crack a beer, watch and jump up and down when they break something, which will probably happen 1 in a 100 cars. --00--

Sniffer dogs are the only solution \O

90% of the bakkies heading to Moz have the same problem, but on a slightly larger scale. ;-) They have car tyres, second hand cyanide containers from a mine for drinking water, garden furniture from our gardens, a few rhino horn, six passengers in amongst the "freshish" vegetables, and enough sheet metal and cardboard to make Soweto look like a scale model.

They also have a destination to reach, they have paid their way apparently, and we call for selective security?? O**

One size fits all, either we live with it or live without what we go there for!!! 0-
