continuing with the toys theme

[mercury-ca.livejournal.com]

Really, just a plea for reassurance.

I bought a toy while on vacation. It's wrapped up and buried in clothes in my bag.
I know we've all heard the horror stories about them going off with all the agitation checked luggage faces.
Someone please tell me this doesn't actually happen? I mean, people travel with vibrators all the time and they don't go off, right? No security issues at all?

Any horror stories? Any success stories?

Edit: Made it home without incident. Thanks folks!

Take the batteries out. Then you won't have to worry at all. :)

Things I should have thought of.

I should have thought of that before I put the zippy ties on my zippers!

won't they just snip those off anyway when you get to the airport and put them through security? Why not undo them, take the batteries out and re-zip tie if you must? Sounds like a plan to me. Good luck!

They haven't snipped them off yet. A strap that compresses the backpack, however, they cut off. Only one of four, mind you, two weeks ago and I didn't notice till now. I'm not happy.

If they search your bag, I think yeah, they'll just cut it.

Probably. I've been lucky enough to never have a bag inspected or lost while flying.
I, however, have been personally inspected and let me tell you - Canada Customs has zero sense of humor.
The answer to "do you have anything sharp on you?" is not "only my wit." Trust me. They will search and search until they find it.

Yup.

Anyone got scissors? I've got to cut some zippy ties off my backpack.
