If the suitcase disappears, demolished or arrives open on the baggage carousel, it is more than annoying. You can contact the airline and get a refund, but this involves some bureaucracy and effort. Filmmaker Colby Eubanks tested an action camera "Insta 360" under the title "EXPOSED: what your bag gets up to when you're not looking 👀 German", which is available in stores for around 320 euros.

The video has been liked almost 70,000 times. However, users not only have positive things to report, but also wonder how the camera on the outside of the suitcase could pass through the security checkpoint. Filming not only violates the security requirements of the American TSA (Transportation Security Administration), but is also questionable due to the lithium battery it contains.

"The recording is questionable from a security point of view and very likely illegal."
"That the security didn't notice!"
"I already know from Toy Story 😁"
"What camera was used?"
"Wow, so cool!"
