FWIW, I don't think it even matters the box is open. I've done the test a handful of times and the proctor never asked to see the seal. The first step they want me to do is to open the box, then show them the barcode. The test itself is in a sealed pouch. So the first time they actually see the test is when its already open. They probably just dont want you losing the dropper or swab (which is also sealed). I also dont know how easy it is for the dropper to leak.
I know it says it many places not to open the box but I could have sworn I saw a FAQ or something state that it was still ok if it was open.
But ofcourse, don't go opening up your test for no reason. I'm just saying that if the seal is accidentally broken, it doesnt hurt to try anyways.

I ordered a 2pack and it expires in Feb (prior to my next intel flight). I only needed on but luckily I was able to sell the other one.

The emed test, or the regular one?
