does you no good on a 2nd or 3rd check which was my point

I have global entry - sometimes it does and sometime it does not - even on airlines and at airport who offer it domestically - overall its a great program.

I've been going to CR every month for the last 5 months and haven't noticed any changes. I've been pulled out of line twice at boarding for a thorough personal search. I wish they had a partition cause all ya need is a little " boom shack a lacka boom" for a good show. But I 've been overall pleased with the situation there in SJO. Once I forgot to stow my clip on folder and realized it as I was in line for screening. I stepped over to one of the gendarme and 'splained the situation. They were very courteous and took me to the security desk, got my info and told me they would hold it for 30 days. I picked it up my next time through without a hitch. All personnel were very polite.

I remember when I just brought a coke for the plane ride back to US(in the Terminal). They said I couldn't bring it on board the plane. I pointed to my 3 bottles of rum from the Duty Free and told them strange I can bring these bottles of alcohol from the duty free, which are way more dangerous. She tried to argue with me, and I asked for manager.

He walked over and tried to tell me the same thing. Told him it is not posted anywhere when you are buying the coke prior to boarding that you cannot bring it on the plane. He relented and checked if it was open. Which is was not then let me go on with it.

Stupidity of some people amazes me.

Did you have a receipt for the Coke? They are not supposed to let you board with any liquid more than 3.4 ounces without a receipt from inside the gate area of the terminal.

it's not a Costa Rican rule, it's the stupid rules from the US for inbound flights.
