If you’ve checked bags, you may have seen those little notices left by the TSA or other nations’ airport security, indicating that they’ve rifled through your things. If you’re feeling frisky, and if you don’t mind taking a chance taking a trip to the hoosegow, instead of to your intended destination, then a “helpful” baggage insert might be just your ticket to comedic vengeance.

The “Do Not Be Alarmed By” section of the “Citizen’s Insertable Swiftness Manifest” is my personal favorite.

   I love it!

   Realy sick people would add “this bag contains: bed bugs”!

   Leave the baggage handlers wondering.

   I rolled on the floor with this one! Do you think they’ll arrest me or laugh if I truly print it out and include it when I fly home to CA next week?
