Ive never heard any bad reports but looking at the thread on the guy getting 4 years because a lump of hash invisible to the naked eye was found on his shoe or the guy that got 4 years for having 3 poppy seeds on his shirt that fell from a roll he ate in london. Id just be carefull
I've gone boarding twice before, it wouldn't be my main reason for going to Dubai but it would make a nice break from lying on the beach every day, yeah those sentances were insane, no common sense it just seems like those people were randomly selected to be made an example out of, it wouldn't stop me going but it would make me a bit paranoid checking in
