Planning on checking some baggage this trip and would like to hear your opinion of “shrink wrapping” the ol’ suitcase.

I’ve always wondered how reliable this stuff was and specifically, if the custom dudes in POP airport will “let me pass by” if my bags are wrapped.

I think it would give them more of an incentive to open your bag at POP.

I agree. If shinkwrapping discouraged them from opening your bags, it would be a very short time before druglords caught on.

Besides, what's the big deal about them opening your bags? I alwyas keep anything of real value with me. If they want to sort through my dirty undies, I say, "Have at 'em!"

The big deal for me when they do open my bag is I have to put everything back and them fuckers dont help.

i would not waste the money or the time. since you are going through customs.

for a domestic flight, maybe it wouldnt be a bad idea.

but for an international, i think you are just asking for more attention. not diverting it.

With some of the putas on PC in Sosua you should invest your money in some dink wrap instead.
