in addition if you brought your favorite adult beverage, they take it away from you.
I have asked repeatedly for them, or their supervisors, to show me where in their rule book where it says flight crew cannot bring any alcohol into mexico.
I finally found one supervisor, with good english, to admit that there really isn't a rule that says we can't bring any, but that their rules don't say that we can. So therefore they just take it away from you.
