If/when you find the answer to that one please share!One baffling question: Why does going through Customs involve half-mile walks through otherwise deserted hallways?
Or how about “if my baggage was secure enough to get out of my host country, why isn’t it secure enough to go directly to my connecting flight at the first airport I land in stateside?”. Heck, that’s when I might decide “I don’t really want to carry these lithium batteries anymore so I’ll shove them in the side pocket of my checked bag before I give it back to the luggage guy”. That makes no sense to me.
