Me too. In the early 1990s, i was flying in from Bangkok to KIX. I had not shaved in four days, wearing a t-shirt and raggy jeans. I remember the Customs officer pulling out a book with pictures of marijuana, white powder stuff (probably cocaine) and other intersting things. I was escorted into a back room and my luggage was searched completely. Nice thing is they repacked everything and wished me a good day... good times.
