Or put a note.
“Hunter Bidon’s luggage.”

I have done this for many years. I use an extra luggage strap to secure the bag from coming open. It has the additional advantage of making the bag distinctive.

As I almost always have a firearm in the checked bag, it already gets all the extra attention.

Interesting tidbit re: the density of marzipan mimicking that of explosives!

If I tie a ribbon on the bag, that makes it impossible for them to scan it in an automated system?

What?

I put colored duct tape on the corners. Problem solved.

In 2012, on a flight from NYC, I noticed all checked baggage looked just like mine. So I tied a red bandana around the handle. Upon landing I noticed how many of those coming up still looked just like mine, wondering if the bandana had gotten removed. Finally here it came! Bandana and all.

My job has me on the road 60-75% of the time. I solve that problem by driving most of it. Rarely checking luggage the rest of the time.

“Ribbons that people tie onto their suitcases to help identify them can cause issues with the bag being scanned in the baggage hall,” he told RSVP Live.

How?

Could also put a little essence of skunk on the baggage and find it by scent rather than sight.
