PAP - Toussaint Louverture Int´l Airport, Port-au-Prince, Haiti

Some US airports have signs at domestic security saying that the following airports do not have adequate security measures. PAP is always on the list.

I have been through that airport several times, and have never once gone through a security screening. Usually, the only thing that anybody checks are gigantic empty duffel bags and cheap chinese suitcases (Haitians visiting the US usually load up on consumer goods and resell them in Haiti), but with such lax security, I always spend most of the flight wondering what could be in the cargo hold...
