RE: Warning - risk of duty free stuff being confiscated on thewayto Prag

Maybe the airlines should simply shut down the duty free shops and send every

I find that the prices at CostCo are remarkably similar to those at most duty 
free shops and considerably more convenient than carrying additional luggage.
