Hey everyone. I heard yesterday from someone who said this happened to her that they were stopped at customs to have their bags inspected after returning from the USA to France, apparently because their bags were (significantly I guess) heavier.

Has anyone else heard of such a thing? Is this likely? I've traveled the same route several times and have never been stopped. I also have an American passport though and the customs officials at CDG barely open my passport to stamp it. I've also gone to the US with 1 light checked bag and come back with it filled to the limit. Nothing.

Any truth to this in your opinion?
