From a 1st scan, heading towards another check in… 

‘Can I take it with me?’ ,thinking how to squish my bag in size: Take off smth that I can buy easily at place?; Pick out what I won’t use anyway; Or just roost some in my friend’s empty bag instead?… 

 How many things did you left there on the customs’s table, with the security staff? Did you ever think of it?  

Every 2nd one, or might say, each of us whoever traveled by air, left some of our belongings for ever EVER at the bag-scan zone. I personally lost about a dozen of items at the check point, including foods, cosmetics, and … well can’t think of anything else yet. Once I even left my comp.charger there, but thats my fault, forgot to put it back after ‘bag on the table, zip-out, take-out, ok, can go’. In Finland, France. Germany, Turkey — thats pretty much where my bag loosen in weight, dropping what was finely coped in, but was beamed by blue-shirt flints…

No wonder, many of us keep this thought ‘I shouldn’t ask if this allowed or not, just keep it simple’.  ‘Never Ask, you’ll pass’ thats how it is??
