'It’s atrocious what we're putting our people through' @the airport- Skelton-Cline
During the July 1, 2026, airing of his show titled ‘What We Know Is Not True Part 4’, Skelton-Cline described his own experiences and those he witnessed during his recent travels.
“It’s atrocious what we are putting our people through at the Terrence B. [Lettsome] Airport relative to security.” His message, he explained, was not directed at the security workers themselves but at those who make the rules- the leadership of the airport and the wider Virgin Islands.
“I had some tourists in front of me, some white brothers and sisters. I witnessed where they told those people that they can’t have more than one ziplock bag with their toiletries.” In addition to informing travellers they were only allowed one ziplock bag with toiletries, he said he witnessed travellers being told their ziplock bags were too big.
What manner of nonsense is that?” He said it is untrue that this has anything to do with restrictions.
Non-functional equipment & long lines
Adding insult to injury, Skelton-Cline said the lines were extremely long as there was only one functioning machine.
“How long has that machine been out? Skelton-Cline, that machine has been out for a while now.”
He said he witnessed another female traveller being patted down several times and scanned only for security to find nothing. “This is what we are putting people through.”
Skelton-Cline added that he had his own questionable experience when he was told that the machine picked up something in his bag. “They don’t know what it is because the machine can’t tell them what it is, but there’s something in it.” After his clothes were removed and bags searched, he said he was told it was most likely his deodorant that was detected, saying, “It’s not even liquid.”
Stop putting travellers through this
He called on those in charge to listen to him, explaining that this type of security measure cannot be deemed policy because it is not true.
“I go through airports all the time; these people travel through airports all the time- TSA, Global Entry…there’s something wrong.”
Skelton-Cline added that he was also informed that judges and magistrates, even some time ago elected officials, encounter this type of treatment at the airport.
“Who do we honour? Why are we making this country so difficult to reside in? When these people tell you about some of these rules, you've got to find a way to push back at some of this stuff. We've got to stop putting locals and guests through this stuff.”

The reason why it's mostly EXPATS my dear is because you sit on your @## every day and don't want to work but still collecting big money expats came here to darling
I'm in total agreement with Claude this place is a JOKE. The methods used to search at Beef Island Airport are old antiquated and out of date. No investment in modern security measures. The whole is just a bunch of SH** if you asked me. Claude you're on the ball. No one traveling across US Airports go through this SHIT. THEY NEED TO GET MODERNIZED. That's why the Lucian man left. A setta Jackasses in this place.
The rest is typical CSC rubbish. Those rules and procedures are worldwide.
I'm not comparing us to other Caribbean airports, but the truth is many of them have improved over the years, and we seem to be falling behind. The BVI can do better. Better equipment, clearer rules, and a smoother experience would benefit everyone while still keeping the airport secure.
If it is bad for ordinary low paid people to have to go through these degrading processes just feel for Ronnie and those of our elite, greed self engrandising, members in the HOA and their friends.
It would be absolutely unbearable for him or one of our higher level (Planatation Owner Style) elites had to go through what their workers had to go through.
Happy for Ronnie that he can use his powers and money to save him from these attrocities.
A proper leader would save us all as one of their people and their equals. But not our Ronnie. All for saving himself. But, we can all see why.
It is just not how power is supposed to be used. Maybe now another elite has noticed Ronnie will try and save the rest of us from this.
How likely is that? A likely as an Old Peoples home on Spooners, being told who transferred the $5Million to Laura at the Bankrupt BOA, being shown the SECRET airport report, having a HOA instead of paying Ronnie, having roads we can drive on, water we can drink, ferry ports in West End, poiticians that don't cheat and lie and vote money for themselves, an incinerator, Omar Hodge held to account for Greenhouses instead honored with a park, the Criminal Poster boy being taken of our House of Crime Assembly, tint taken off windows of Government and other cars, scooter riders using both wheels, and event that starts at the starting time, a Premier who has 487 votes he did not have to pay for.
It is atrocious what we are putting the people go through, but I please Ronnie one of rarely seen elites does not have to.
Always look on the bright side.
You bullsh****rs don't cares and don't want to abide by any rules

When God returns for His people, He will not ask us where we are from or what background we belong to. He will ask what we have done for His Kingdom.
Praying for the miserable souls.
Most them look like they drag their asses out of bed and put on an old tshirt and pair of shorts.
It is a mystery these officers at the airport keep getting themselves into trouble for one reason or another.
It’s the immigration officers need to fix their bad attitude.
They have big shocks coming when they eventually make it into the big bad world off this island.
