Tom Snare
and Nancy Victor were the last two persons by the baggage claim. Just a single
gray suitcase without an owner was still on the transport band.
“Damn, seems
like we’ve lost our baggage”, Nancy said.
“Then we
better get out of here, and go shopping”, said Tom, “at the airline’s cost”.
Tom pointed
out the direction to the custom, with the green sign over the ‘nothing to
declare’ lane.
“I got some
stuff that I can’t live without in my suitcase,” Nancy said.
“The things
I can’t live without always go in my carry-on bag”, Tom said, “such as my
lap-top not book and iPod, and my skis are safe at home. I never put important stuff in your check-in
baggage. ”
“I do,”
Nancy replied, “because some of it would be too embarrassing to pull out at the
security check. The contents of a woman’s toilet bag is a secret kept.”
This is very true. Women and men do pack much differently, I've noticed. I can't live without my hairdryer, but if I put it in my carry-on, I get stopped and searched every time.
