Why did Biden work to free Brittney Griner but not these men?

Turks and Caicos isn't Mexico. Biden can remind them about what happened when Grenada decided to jail Americans

Why waste any time with these criminals?

They are British Overseas Territories.

The British Overseas Territories (BOTs) are the 14 territories with a constitutional and historical link with the United Kingdom that, while not forming part of the United Kingdom itself, are part of its sovereign territory. The permanently inhabited territories are delegated varying degrees of internal self-governance, with the United Kingdom retaining responsibility for defence, foreign relations and internal security, and ultimate responsibility for good governance.

Maybe a good time to remind Britain about the Monroe Doctrine

Go back to calling in bomb threats.

Yesterday in response to the above I posted the message below - can’t remember the exact words but this is basically it:

If they are working on it, they are doing so incompetently given that these individuals have been held longer in a friendly country than Griner was held in an unfriendly country.

And my post was then deleted by the moderator. People can agree or disagree with my opinion but I really don’t understand what is objectionable about this post. The efforts of the board moderator to protect Democrats are truly puzzling at times.

They are staying in an Airbnb. Do you see any difference?

"This" what? You think the TSA conspired with Joe Biden to set up two completely random idiots in Turks & Caicos?

It’s ok to bring bullets in your checked luggage, isn’t it? It’s not TSA’s job to know if that’s allowed on the country you’re traveling to. It’s yours. Personal responsibility.

They are detained in the country and unable to be with their families. And threatened with 12 years of imprisonment. For a crime that, as nearly as we can tell, was an accident and harmed nobody. And yet many on this board would rather slug themselves in the face than simply admit how ridiculous that is.

Other countries get to have their own laws, and they were getting tired of Americans bringing in guns and ammo accidentally.

It's going to take a while, much like with the basketball player who broke Russian laws, to negotiate a way to get them back. She was in prison in Russia for some time.

Hold up.. we can have bullets in our luggage? We can fly with bullets? Seriously?

You can fly with a checked handgun.

No they are cooling their heels in the sands. There is a big difference between being imprisoned in Russia vs living in a Airbnb in T&C. They were careless with ammunition. Who carrying 300 rounds of 5.56 in their luggage? You know how much that weighs?

It’s because she’s a celebrity athlete so the story was more visible

But the vape cartridge was against the law in Russia. Why respect one country’s laws but not another?

Oh are we taking Russia’s word for it?

Griner herself admitted she had marijuana on her.

She had a CBD vape pen.

No it was regular THC cannabis not CBD. Get the basic facts straight maybe?

Looks like he broke US law transport ammunition. Both firearms and munitions must be declared to TSA and the airlines. If traveling outside of the US it must be declared to customs. These guys were picked up by Turk and Caicos authorities when leaving. Sounds like they bought the ammo there.

You may transport unloaded firearms in a locked hard-sided container as checked baggage only. Declare the firearm and/or ammunition to the airline when checking your bag at the ticket counter. The container must completely secure the firearm from being accessed. Locked cases that can be easily opened are not permitted. Be aware that the container the firearm was in when purchased may not adequately secure the firearm when it is transported in checked baggage.

Ammunition is prohibited in carry-on baggage, but may be transported in checked baggage.
Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be securely boxed or included within a hard-sided case containing an unloaded firearm. Read the requirements governing the transport of ammunition in checked baggage as defined by 49 CFR 175.10 (a)(8).
Small arms ammunition (up to .75 caliber and shotgun shells of any gauge) must be packaged in a fiber (such as cardboard), wood, plastic, or metal box specifically designed to carry ammunition and declared to your airline.
Ammunition may be transported in the same hard-sided, locked case as a firearm if it has been packed as described above. You cannot use firearm magazines or clips for packing ammunition unless they completely enclose the ammunition. Firearm magazines and ammunition clips, whether loaded or empty, must be boxed or included within a hard-sided, locked case.
Please check with your airline for quantity limits for ammunition.

If they bought the ammo there, that’s suspicious and I doubt they’re just careless tourists. The very last thing they might want is the attention of the federal government. Oops.

No they are not specially loose rounds.
