It appears that I've been *fondled* - . . .
and I didn't even get to enjoy it!

Unpacking my luggage this morning to discover a TSA *Notice of Baggage Inspection*
tag inside one of them.

Must have been my ankle weights that set them off!





Ya think??

3. I got one of those recently, and felt sorry for the inspector...
They decided to check the bag with all our dirty sweaty clothes in it! :rofl:

7. That's the only time mine's gotten checked - when it was full of stinky yuck clothing
And I jammed the stinky old unwashed clothing all in and around the breakables I was bringing back from Japan.

I was amazed at how the agents got everything packed back the way I had it, though. For a while, I didn't think they'd really looked at much, but when I finally got home for a true unpacking (I had another three days of running around inside the US before I finally made it home), one of the bottles on the bottom of the suitcase had been wrapped with a TSA paper and put back in the box the bottle was in. So they did indeed sort through the thing.

Amazing.

9. Maybe smugglers typically try to hide things in the most disgusting places...
thinking nobody would want to check them.

6. Interesting
Its been a while since I went through an airport. Since it seems to be so widespread, I will have to remember to leave interesting things in my luggage next time so that whoever is pokeing about gets a laugh of some sort out of the deal.
