same thing happened to my bro- we cleared in Dallas then on to San Fran. He had to try to shove it into his bag and make it to the next gate in under 20 min! How fun was that? I just packed loosely and then we had pleanty of room on the way back (who cares if it's a second suitcase?- your rum will make it home safely if you pack it well!)

do I have to get shots to go there? 8o)
