This thread is sort of the offshoot to the smuggler's list thread. I just want to know what the red flags are that will get you searched at customs.
I was surprised to learn that going through Amsterdam or carrying very little luggage could actually single you out for getting searched by customs. I recently learned of the smugglers list. I've found going through smaller airports instead of major hubs usually means customs are more lax and are less likely to search you. I also know answering any of those questions on your landing card wrong can get you searched. As well, visiting some parts of Asia seem to get you searched pretty thoroughly for fake goods from what friends have told me.
What else?
