Speaking of funny things in your hand luggage, friends of ours make us laugh recently telling us about their experiences travelling home from Florida.
Geoff & Catherine had spend their holidays in Orlando with their son and two daughters, and Geoff had to leave somewhat earlier than the rest of the family as he had work to attend to on the return leg of the journey. He was travelling with one large piece of hand luggage and he was travelling light as he only had an overnight stop. Catherine decided to ease her load by giving him some laundry to carry back along with his own bits, so she packed in what she could and sent him on his merry way to the airport.
At security he was one of the ones taken aside and he got the usual:
"Is this your bag, sir?" - "Yes"
"Did you pack it yourself, sir?" - "Yes"
"Did anyone ask you to carry anything on for them, sir?" - "No"
"Do you mind if we check your bag, sir?" - "Not at all"!
So the security man zips his bag open and Geoff is more that a little surprised to find that amoung other things, Catherine has stuffed the bag full an array of his 16 year old daughters bras and G-strings!
You'd much rather be found carry a man size meat pie!
