How can I be sure that the package I am carrying does not contain an illegal/dangerous item? TCC suggests that casual couriers thoroughly examine the package before accepting it from the sender. What do I say to a security officer if asked whether I am carrying anything for someone else? TCC encourages full disclosure to airline personnel and suggests completing the Courier Service Agreement to clarify package ownership.
