Never has my wallet been checked in all my word wide travels
Customs or security? When you're going to get on a flight, you go through security, and you have to show a picture ID with the same name as is on the ticket. When you arrive in another country, you go through immigration, where you show your passport. Then you claim your luggage and go through Customs. They do not check your ID. If you look suspicious, they may search your luggage or illegal stuff or merchandise you intend to sell.
Why not, unless it is for more than $10000.
Can they YES
Could they be stopped and searched? Also YES
Could it be a problem? Depends on situation and the value of the check.
You are expected to declare when asked the total amount of all currency and financial things you have with you. Over a specified amount you fill in some forms.
Trying to hide it and it is discovered can result in penalties from a small fine, seizure, of the item, being denied entry and returned, arrest and jail.
You can have the check. If customs ask you financial questions you are expected to answer honestly for all the stuff you have with you.
Most countries have something similar
The transportation of currency or monetary instruments, regardless of
the amount, is legal. However, if you bring into or take out of the United
States more than $10,000 (US or foreign equivalent, or a combination
of both), you are required by law to file a report on FinCEN 105 (formerly
Customs Form 4790) with US Customs and Border Protection.
Monetary instruments include coin, currency, travelers checks and
bearer instruments such as personal or cashiers checks and stocks and
bonds. If you have someone else carry the currency or monetary
instrument for you, you must also file a report on FinCEN 105. Failure to
file the required report or failure to report the total amount that you are
carrying may lead to the seizure of all the currency or monetary
instruments, and may subject you to civil penalties and/or criminal
prosecution. SIGN ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THIS FORM AFTER
YOU HAVE READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOVE AND
MADE A TRUTHFUL DECLARATION.
Nobody checks what is written on a piece of paper
- Can I pass through Airport Security with Cooked lunch in my Carry-on/Personal during travels to the USA? I plan on making a trip to the USA for the summer, However, one of my flights has a long stop where I will be waiting for more than 10 hours until the next plane departs. As you can imagine that's a lot of waiting, and I don't want to buy the expensive food available at the airport. So is it okay to prepare a cooked meal and bring along with me? Example: Baked Chicken and Rice with steamed vegetables.
- Can I smuggle my wax pen or dab pen (weed) without tsa noticing at the airport? I'm also under 18 so would cause problems aswell? I'm flying to Philadelphia from Los Angeles and I was wondering if its possible if I can smuggle my wax pen (weed) without tsa noticing. I'm also under 18 would that cause problems aswell?
- Plane ticket has first, middle and last name but my passport only has first and last name? I'm flying Scandinavian Airlines and my plane ticket has my first, middle, and last name but my passport only has my first and last name. Does anyone have any experience with this or think it will be an issue? I called the travel agency and they told me they could not do anything to correct the middle name. I was also thinking about bringing another form of ID like a birth certificate or social security card to be safe.
- Give someone else your plane ticket? Me and my family recently bought plane tickets to go to Florida. My dad unfortunately isn't able to go on the day that we fly out. We're flying Spirit Airlines. Is there any way that we can transfer the ticket to another one of my family members, like my sister perhaps? Please help, I would really hate for me to spend all that money on a ticket and have it go to waste.
