OK may sound wierd but it’s happened to me enough where I need to mention it. Because over packing is so prevalent I swear that some customs / immigration offlcers view a single traveller like me with only carry on as some red flag… Ask questions like “you don’t have any checked baggage?”, “this is all you have?”… I’ve been selected for random searches like that enough times to think it’s not a coincidence. “you are travelling for 3 weeks and only have carryon?” answer “I use laundry service on the trip” reply “step this way”, and they proceed to pull everything out of my bag and check every crevice lol. Just a heads up 🤷 EDIT :my travel is international to the carribean and south America so the red flagging would be more likely… Domestic US or CA flights would probably be less likely to experience this
Hahahaha on your brightest bulb comment, I’m a Washington Redskins fan (aka Commanders now) once I had on a Redskins Jersey and baseball cap coming into Miami and the Immigration officer at the kiosk where they check your passport asked me why did I have on Redskins stuff😂😂 No fucking joke… I said because they are my team… Do you know he then asked me “who is the coach” and “who is the quarterback” ?? And he wasn’t joking HaHahah i happened to know… But suppose I was a dumb fan who didn’t, would I have then gotten pulled aside for not knowing stuff about my team? 😂 😂 😂 😂
