Anyway, fast forward to this past 10 days and my trip to New Zealand. Every place that US customs could intercept my bags, they were inspected (for training purposes and because my US comrades want the government to do this, so they acquiesce). Never had a bag searched by customs before. No personal searches, just bag searches.

Quite interesting.
Always seems to me that the safest place to have something is on your person. They never check me, just my bags.

Interesting indeed.
