I've been in taxis all over the country, and I've never opened my suitcase for a cabbie's inspection.
The cabbie learned she was carrying alcohol because she told him "to be careful with her luggage because it contained fragile bottles of wine" that could be broken if handled roughly. She could have just as easily been speaking about a delicate laptop computer or expensive jewelry. The cabbie is a vile Islamist whom we don't want in our midst, anyway.
