Will Strip for Airfare

Jared Blank reports that a 22-year old Lithuanian woman ran out of cash in Cancun and decided to strip in the airport to get money for a ticket.

He says she was high at the time, but I just assume she thought Spring Break came early this year.

I’m surprised, though, that she was permitted into the country without a return ticket. I’m not familiar with Mexico’s rules for anyone but U.S. citizens, so I don’t claim to be an expert, but I would have expected she would be required to have return flights booked before being permitted through immigration. Not that I’m generally asked to provide proof even when it is in fact a requirement.
