i want to bring home some beer from my trip to Mexico. I also have two bottles of liquor. I have wrapped all the bottles in plastic bags, then wrapped each individual bottle inside a shirt. You think I will have any problems? Will tsa go through my bag and fuck everything up? It is my checked luggage btw… ---

I’ve never packed beer, but I’ve done liquor with no trouble so I assume they’ll both be fine. ---

Depends on the place you’re leaving too. If you try and ship/transport alcohol out of Nevada its a big no-no. Other places its ok. ---

Not an issue… Besides them breaking shit. They went through my shit a month ago. My camera ended up in an outer pocket and got destroyed, as well as some other electronics. And of course they are “not responsible for lost or broken electronics in checked bags.” Good luck. You will most likely be fine. ---

I got tsa’d They randomly selected my bag to search. Unpacked all my shit, then threw it back in. All the bottles were touching, so naturally they smashed. I just threw my whole suitcase, clothes and all, in the garbage Fortunatly it was a cheap suitcase I bought just for this purpose, and only had underwear and cheap clothes… I guess bringing back booze wasn’t such a hot idea. ---

Stories like these make me love our government. They can’t take the extra 2.5 seconds to put everything back in good order? Seriously F them A wholes. Next time I fly I’m going to put a few layers of saran wrap down first and cover them in seamen. Suck on that fagots.
