Should all travel to Switzerland be cause for suspicion?

No seriously, I actually have an uncle living there. The above picture depicts Valais sheep, cute swiss sheep :)

No but seriously, what's the point of this thread? Sounds like OP went "hey!!!!!" and then came and posted their crappy solution to a non-existent problem on NSG. But, why am I complaining? It's NSG, people will be stupid.

If they're not up to something they have nothing to fear from a search of their property. But I don't want everyone who has family or diplomatic business in Switzerland to use that as an excuse to make big bucks smuggling scam profits for stock fraudsters.

Also, visiting a foreign friend you met online? Are people that desperate for friends somehow also that incapable of meeting one from their own country?

Very funny that someone afraid to shitpost from their main account is arguing that only those with criminal intent would fear a close examination of their private life.

How do you feel about fondue smuggling?

Fondue smuggling is impractical, and cheese smuggling is pointless as there are basically no tariffs.
The point is smuggling potatoes into Switzerland.

Yes. That level of neutrality is too dangerous to go unquestioned.

Russian chocolate is really nice though, so you could go there rather than Belgium.

Omg! You’re totally right, you know, why even travel to Alaska to see mountains? We can just Google for them, and why go to Belgium for chocolate? When we can just go down to the supermarket and buy some cheap chocolate? Because of the culture, the experience, and a hundred other things.

Buy 10 kg of potatoes in Lavena (VA, Italy). Row 10 m to Caslano (TI, CH). Sell potatoes. Evade tens of ChF in tariffs. Repeat.

In my state apparently it has been illegal since 1948 to own more than 50kg of potatoes. Something to do with rationing or market manipulation IDK.

In Switzerland the imports of foodstuffs that can be used to make alcohol are subjected to heavy tariffs. That's why potatoes.
