Thanks everyone for the replies

About Canadian bags being checked, i know they are scanned and x-rayed but my bags have never been opened here and I live in toronto, the busiest city in the country.

yeah i actually had some soaps AND i did have a bottle of Victoria Secret Angel in there so i guess it could have been either of those things.

I automatically thought that since they felt the need to open my bag, i'd automatically be placed on some "Watch List" or something! but i guess that's my paranoia talking.

interesting world we live in now isn't it? nothing we can do i guess but grin and bear it.
