Leaving Beirut today with two animals in crates, I learned that you cannot take zip ties / cable ties on board. I had a packet of zip ties to secure the flight crates. Didn't even know that I should have put them in my checked baggage. Security screener lady took them. Not a huge loss, but in my 30+ years and 32 countries, I have never given it a thought. Huh. Learn something new every day, as they say. submitted by /u/Several_Crow4181 [link] [comments]
