Whats the best approach? Fly into CUN then take a shuttle to Cozumel? Or do the extra flying time with a stopover and fly to Cozumel directly?

What is the “camera extortion scam”?I only did it once, but, IMO, it's not worth the extra hassle to fly into Cancun, get a shuttle to the ferry, then ferry to Cozumel, then taxi to hotel. The road from Cancun is under construction and the traffic is pretty bad.
Flying direct to CZM is the best option, and they don't have the camera extortion scam.
I have read accounts of a tariff or import duty being charged at some Mexican ports of entry for bringing in UW camera equipment for private use. I have only heard about it being an issue on the Pacific side, though, never in Cancun or Cozumel.What is the “camera extortion scam”?
Please explain.
