he Indonesian military (TNI) has required all delegates and visitors entering from the secondary gate of the upscale Nusa Dua compound to leave their cigarette lighters and liquid substances at the security table over concern that the items could be used to light explosive devices.
Fingernail and paper cutters as well as scissors are also forbidden.
Before entering the gate, visitors will have to go through a scanning facility installed at the Santika Siligita hotel, located less than 100 meters from the entrance gate.
"I bought this lighter for Rp 200,000 (around US$20). Is there a guarantee that I will get it back when I'm done in Nusa Dua?" asked disgruntled visitor Ridwan, a manager with a Jakarta-based multimedia company," on Saturday.
An Army sergeant politely told Ridwan that the lighter would be placed in a special basket, which was already half full with hundreds of lighters and bottles of perfume.
