What are the odds...of theft!

What are the odds of theft from TSA tomorrow(today), when I check my luggage with a bottle of 2002 Vintage Dom Pérignon? I want to bring the bottle back to Norway with me, as it it much cheaper to purchase here . For the most part, I have never had any issues with bringing alcohol, but for some odd reason I have an icky feeling in my gut.

Naturally upon landing, it is common in Oslo to purchase about 5 bottles of wine, due to it being 50% cheaper at duty free, but Dom is a no no!

Cheers,
krpjr

Chances of theft are in reality about zero. Enjoy it when you get home!

Having experienced the theft of expensive wine from checked baggage I would submit that the OPs chances of losing his Dom are something greater than zero.

About zero includes above zero. In reality, near zero (on the above side) is the more reasonable answer. It all means you'll most probably be fine.

I would be more concerned about breakage than theft.
