I will be traveling (via plane) to a family Christmas gathering next month and have numerous gifts to transport with me. I normally heed the recommendation not to wrap the gifts before they go through security (in checked baggage), except my time will be very limited after I reach my destination and so would love to wrap at least some of them ahead of time. On our recent trip to England I brought back a fair amount of wrapped gifts in my checked luggage from some English friends to my in-laws, and they were untouched upon our arrival back in the states. So I began to wonder how many people actually had their wrapped gifts opened by TSA?
I'm thinking I might take the chance of wrapping everything (or most things) ahead of time. I figure the worst that can happen is that they will open anything that looks suspicious and I'll have to re-wrap them again.
