Another Packing Question

[PrincessEmmasMommy]

Hi! I know that you cannot take wrapped presents in your carry-on luggage, but can you have wrapped presents in your checked baggage? Thanks!

I think you can, BUT if they open your luggage for extra security, they may open them.

Especially with the tighter security this week, you may be better off packing the gifts and wrapping paper separately.

At Christmas last year I carried wrapped presents in my luggage and didn't have any problems. I never thought about the chance that our luggage could have been checked and the packages opened. Next time I think I'll wrap them when I get where I'm going. Thanks for the post.

You aren't supposed to, and if you do, they will be unwrapped if your luggage is pulled for a random search. The random searches do happen - on 2 of my last 4 flights, I opened my case to find a note from the TSA advising me that they had opened it up. We use gift bags and tissue paper and that seems to be ok.
