Have a great trip

I packed my x-ray in my checked luggage as the guy at the embassy said I could

Have a great trip, FB. No problemo with the X-Ray; not neccessary at POE.

Thanks all I'm almost done packing and I just picked myself a window seat. I hope British Airways flights are still serving their delicious chicken tarragon and pre-landing pretzel nuggets :9 Also I hope this one really rude stewardess won't be there, she was there on the last three flights I took with BA. Every time. Last time she threw a sandwich at me when I asked for one and spoke to her co-worker how I was spending too long in the toilet o_o

@ H&V: yep, Baltimore is my final flight destination The reviews on VJ for the Baltimore point of entry are nice and reassuring, and I've never had problems there either. Nice people.. I hope this continues for tomorrow.

@ Stinky Monkey: I will do, thank you for putting up with my paranoia

@ Nich-Nick: AHAHHA yes I will instantly bloat out into a fatty doughy American biscuit. More like this though:

For the sake of staying true to the original topic, my X-ray has been banished to the bottom of my suitcase. I have my Passport, my sealed envelope, my hand luggage, my two pieces of checked luggage...... and my mind is racing like I've forgotten something. Aaaa.

You can always roll it up.

Okay, you ARE supposed to hand carry it through POE. However, there are various reports from people interviewed who have had officers tell them to pack it in checked baggage as it won't be asked for.

In all my time at VJ I have only known 2 members get asked for it. LuzyC was one and I can't recall the other name.

I look at it this way - there is no one at POE qualified to interpret an x-ray. They are Immigration not medical officers. Plus ALL of the information on the x-ray has been translated into the medical report which is in the yukky orange or yellow mysterious envelope.

I packed mine in checked luggage and had no issues - and I don't know of any UKers who've had problems either. But, do be aware that it IS supposed to be hand carried.

Have a safe trip...and if you get the rude stewardess again I think it's time you reported her!

I was definately told at my interview that I should pack the x ray and not hand carry it, maybe it is a new directive
