How did 8 get cheese on the plane? Last time I tried, they pulled me aside to inspect my luggage and wipe me down for residue because, they told me, cheese looks like plastic explosives on the x-ray machine.
I've shared times with 3 of the folks on the list. All are great folks. The others are yet to meet in person if they can set their standards low enough as the others have done.
Do’s and Dont’s for airport cheese transport.
Do take as a carry on, do not place in checked bags.
Don’t rewrap the cheese in butcher paper. If you do, they have to open and swab them for explosives.
Transport them just the way you bought them at the cheese factory or store. Don’t repackage.
Do tell the TSA scanner your bag has cheese in it. It lowers their conern level a notch.
The TSA dude told me he sees more bags with cheese in them leaving Wisconsin than not.
Pro Tip: if you you placed the cheese in a checked bag (bad) and you get called back to a 6x8 security room to unlock a non-approved TSA lock in front of three concerned TSA agents, Do Not say anything about C4 as you unlock the bag. It gets a little tense.
