Caught up this news item and wanted to share it with all of you. Kind of a personal matter but just maybe some of us to would like to include this in our pre-departure orientations, so as to avoid this kind of situations to ever happen again.

Two Filipino crewmen were facing charges after a search of a ship turned up child pornography on laptop computers. Customs officers went aboard the oil tanker, M/T Negotiator, that was in the Port of Halifax last week. The two crewmen (just withheld the names), were arrested and charged with violating the customs act by smuggling prohibited goods. The Canada Border Services Agency says one the laptops contained pornographic pictures of boys and girls as young as eight years old.
