My cousin recently returned from the US after a vacation with a great war story. In the spirit of honesty she is blessed with the antagonism gene and is a raging hippy, probably has allot to do with it.. But it shouldn't, right?

Anyhoo, she got stopped, had her luggage thoroughly searched and was threatened with a cavity search [she swears its the truth] leaving LAX on a domestic flight. She had come direct from Australia.

The problem? Her use of a cable tie to 'seal' her luggage. Apparently its suspicious and the 'type of thing a drug smuggler might do' They were also concerned by her DIY flight itinery: One flight to the US West coast and another separate flight to Florida, as opposed to a travel agent / airline organised transfer She was grilled over this also.



Anyway just thought I'd share. Enjoy your weekend all.
