Ours doesn't check for contraband. Which is a good thing, because we usually pack a full-fledged picnic dinner.

They check teenager's cars trunks though, cuz they're very likely to be full. I've never had mine checked though. Which is another good thing. I'm behind on my burying.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.
