"Anything for safety!" -- TSA mantra to justify trampling the Constitution.
Welcome to FT, iowakatie1981.
One important note: Do
not, under any circumstances, check any of the presents, and assume that TSA will want to unwrap any you carry through (how else will they know what to steal?).
I'd strongly urge you to continue sending all valuable (and sentimental) gifts by FedEx. This will ensure that they get their safely.
