I have it down to an art
I can remove all items from my pockets / tucked into my trousers and tops in 20 seconds flat!! I put most of it under my jacket and do it so artfully that the jacket container seems like an entire bag in the x-ray machine, so the security guys don’t care. Actually they don’t care about weight limits etc. anyway, they are just looking for liquids and dangerous items. I actually bring way more than I show in that video and have so many other tricks. I will be sharing them asap
I will have to be clearer about getting through security and the “uncomfortable flight” of wearing everything (which I don’t) since I get asked that a lot.It’s weird; I never “really” needed to do it since my hand-luggage has never been weighed after check-in (technically you could leave stuff with a friend for a few minutes and stuff it in after the airline weighs it), but last time I flew with Ryanair they enforced the ONE BAG ONLY rule (that must be a certain size) as we were boarding the plane and I had bought some stuff in duty free (they said duty free items must fit in your one bag!!)
Luckily I pulled out my emergency tricks that I’ll share later and got everything through no problem
Sadly some other passengers weren’t so lucky… they are getting more strict! Watch my channel (or videoblog for a more detailed video probably at the end of the summer! I’m focussing on making 3-minute quick language learning videos this summer first
Coming up within a week or two; how to learn Italian the Irishpolyglot way

Hey, thanks for the tips on Youtube; I’ve been editing this website of travel videos from all over the web (not just Youtube), but they still are the biggest source. Travercial has them separated by country, with activity planned for the future.
