QUESTION: We’re invited
to a wedding in Los Angeles

rying the wedding gift with us
because it is breakable. Will
we have any trouble. at. the

and each ‘piece has. to be
specially wrapped and.
padded.”.,

ANSWER: You'll ‘have a
problem if you gift wrap it.

- Both airport security and US

Customs will probably want
to have a look so come early
and be. prepared to unpack
and repack. You didn’t say
what the gift is but if the
scanner shows anything
suspicious, perhaps even

have a’nice close look. Air-
port security is very
suspicious of gift wrapped
parcels. One ‘Christmas, my
elderly mother had all her
packages opened, resulting in

chaos at the check-in. Mother

was not pleased.
