Customs opened my package but sent it through anyway, WTF?

Absolutely

I live in a relatively upscale, small touristic area which is pretty safe but I seldom go out of town. Just too dangerous

Legal gear though

heard they steal peoples babies and sell them, then threaten to kill them if the parents report it

what a sick society where people do this to others

Sadly, gangs will do anything
they are the new terrorists
and the country was already overpopulated to begin with.

Luckily I won't be here forever
I travel all around latin america because of my job.

There were a lot of gang members of Salvadorian origin that were deported and dropped in El Salvador. Some of these gang members didn't even speak Spanish but could be legally deported for being born there even if they grew up in the states. Overloaded their law enforcement completely, pretty hard stuff happens there. A common form of crime is 4-5 guys hop in at a bus stop and rob everyone in a bus and take a pretty girl with them back to the lair, just bad stuff all over.

Horrible
Now it's a war-like zone with the army searching house by house to find gang members in the slums.

I work as a sales rep/tech support and we have to have two security guards with us (armed with carbines or shotguns and armored vests) when we deliver some highly specialized electronic equipment that I doubt anyone else can use or resell.

Thanks God I'll only be here til summer
It's always summer here anyway LOL
stay a few months in Honduras and head back to guatemala or mexico.

Still traveling is nice, much better than getting old in a cubicle.

I suspect steroids are so freely available here because not many locals can afford it.
And plenty of cattle in the farms too.
