Added suggestions from commenters.
Aug 23, 2015 at 9:45 comment added Burhan Khalid Regarding money; the amount that should be declared is when you are travelling with currency or currency equivalents (like precious metals) that value more than $10,000 USD. For example, in Kuwait, you have to declare anything above 3000 KD (which is the equivalent amount).
Aug 22, 2015 at 22:36 comment added Michael There is a huge amount I could add to the list, that's why I qualified it as "not exhaustive". :)
Aug 22, 2015 at 20:59 comment added Peter Taylor You could add porn to that list too. When I visited Oman, Customs wanted to look at the CDs in my luggage to check that they were music.
Aug 21, 2015 at 12:26 comment added jwenting include "religious writings" in that list. There are quite a few countries banning people from importing bibles, qurans, and other religious books and pamphlets without a license (or indeed at all). Uzbekistan is one, Indonesia has restrictions but I'm not sure what they are, Saudi Arabia allows Islamic writings exclusively, etc. etc.
Aug 21, 2015 at 11:56 comment added Spehro 'speff' Pefhany Speaking of Canada, the firearm he describes is probably in the prohibited category because of the short barrel, and carry permits are virtually unavailable even for citizens, let alone random foreigners.

No one would be jumping down his throat like this if he said he was from any country besides the U.S.

Aug 20, 2015 at 13:34 comment added user_1818839 @A E : you'd have to be doing something extremely stupid (aiming it, or running away) or be extremely unlucky to be shot in the head - though as your link (one incident ten years ago) shows, it IS a possibility. The armed police at my local airport are quite telling : once the American flights are out of the way, they put away the frowns and H&Ks, and look much happier carrying batons and tasers. And it is an airport that suffered a terrorist attack.

Aug 19, 2015 at 18:53 comment added A E Re "Disguise that fact ... and you're likely to be arrested and imprisoned" - anyone trying to smuggle into the UK a handgun (or any item which resembles one) also stands a significant risk of being treated as a terrorist and shot in the head by the heavily armed airport police!
