How nice for them. If only they would repay the courtesy. Actually, I’m fairly good about disassembling myself and my bags to pass through TSA screening quickly, but then it takes about 2-3 minutes to repack and reassemble myself.
It’s far worse for my checked baggage. I’m quite careful to pack in a relatively orderly fashion, often trying to cushion more fragile items on the occasions I need to check them. But I’ve lost track of the number of times that my bags arrive at their destination in complete shambles, with my belongings crumpled and mixed about. What were they doing, sniffing my underwear?
