Airport security can probably tell who is starting/ending their trip based on how the bag is packed when it goes through the X-ray.

I’ve always just left the airport on the return flight… are we supposed to get scanned?
at the airport your bag pretty much speaks for you without having to utter a single word, which is how security know to who to pull aside for secondary inspection
Yes, mine can very easily guessed. In return flight i separate the dirty clothes in a separate plastic bag inside the suitcase
Not mine. It’s crease, crinkle, cram both directions.
Nonsense. My stuff were messy going and coming back.
They must wonder why my wife is always starting her trip and I’m always ending mine.
My clothes are rolled up in the suitcase with easy-access snacks for long layovers (cheaper tickets) no matter what.
I will in fact have every member of tsa upped out to visually inspect my six thousand lobsters.
I mean ya but i wash most my clothes before coming home and i stuff them in a clean trash bag. My dirty clothes go in a smaller laundry bag or an empty shopping bag to keep them separate. But again im wild so… maybe they can still tell tho
Going on R&R from Afghanistan. I was using my assault pack ( a small backpack perfect for a computer bag) to carry my laptop. Took the computer out and placed it in the bin. TSA agent wipes my computer and puts the wipe in the machine, and it tests positive for explosives. She must have been new. Started getting excited . The other TSA agent "He just came out of a war zone, he is military. IT happens all the time." She looks at me thanks me for my service. The one with the laptop hands it to me.
There’s only 2 packing styles, neat and F*%k it.
Going through the xray, no. Physically looking at it, sometimes.
Not for me. I always toss shit in there as if it’s a trash can
Well they can’t tell mine, because It goes back as it came. Completely organized.
I’ve traveled several times, and usually light, laptop, straight razor, toothpaste, shaving cream, etc. have literally been searched 3 times, and each time they picked up the razor (Dovo) looked at it, put it back and then took the toothpaste because it was too much.
Yeah and a bartender can see by the level of beer in your glass if you just started drinking or not.
200 brits flying to Benidorm from Manchester.
Airport security Sherlock: it appears most of these people are going on holiday, you can tell by the folding.
I work in hold baggage secutity. We have zero clue.
If I go on a tour or a city trip, my bag will be neater packed on the return leg since I usually need to have room for 2-3 more clothing itwms and some gifts..
TSA agents probably have a sixth sense for nervous first-time flyers by now.
