> And that is the day that I learned the Miami airport has a service that will basically use industrial strength cling wrap to seal your luggage.

I did that once at JFK. I was afraid that the rigid suitcase would be mishandled so I anticipated. It did end up mishandled: I don’t know what they dropped on it but it had a large dent when I got it back. I was also checked at customs, where they cut the suitcase open with a knife, at which point I realised that the closing mechanisms were smashed and I could not close it again (they gave me some duct tape to keep it somewhat closed, but the following train journey was a nightmare). That was fun. But I did not regret the industrial strength cling wrap.
