Drones and cameras?

On the way into Mexico at the airport I was asked if I had any drones or cameras.

That is a first for me.

I believe as a citizen if USA I can’t legally fly a drone in Mexico.

The camera question has me curious. Anyone know what they are looking for?

Have flown a ton of times into MX with a drone. No issues.

Who exactly asked you this question?

Mexican customs. You know right before you push the button.

Can you give us some more details. Where did this happen?

San Jose del Cabo airport. Last week. When I handed my customs declaration in just before hitting the button I was ask if I had a drone or camera.

I responded I had a GoPro, that was of no concern. I pushed the button, got green and was on my way.

My friend ahead of me was not asked about drones or cameras but was lugging our two surfboards.

I really don’t know what other details I can provide.

Maybe the guy needed a camera.
