Is it standard to videotape the agents opening your stuff? I've never considered doing that

Had the same scenario when a brother of mine went to Toronto by bus where he kept his passport in the back of his tiffilen , he brought his teffillin inside the border control office , instead of him leaving his tiffillin on the bus he decided to bring his tiffillin bag with him to the Border officer, after seeing him take out his passport from his bag they asked him what's in that bag and there went the unwrapping..

Once a TSA agent in PHL open my esrog box (cardboard) and remove the esrog. When I tried to stop him he firmly said that I was not allowed to touch any object he was examining.

I'm with "them" on this one.
Definitely looks suspicious

If it looks suspicious they can put it through the machine.

Mods need to up their act in making sure thread titles actually mean what the thread (or at least OP) is about.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Your not allowed to bring fruit into the US even if you have that sticker that it doesn't have the Mediterranean Fruit Fly or whatever else they are looking for they still have the right to examine it...

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Seriously guys? I didn't think the title needed any editing. It said "YWN" as the first words.

What did y'all expect, I thought that was the best disclaimer a thread could have.

We don't need click baits, just because YWN has them.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

I dont what things are like in Dallas, but PHL is Philadelphia and I was flying out of PHL and going through TSA on a domestic flight.

Only when the guy taping is hoping to see his name in lights. Imagine his excitement when he sent the clip in to the "news" outlets
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.
