Came back today from a lovely holiday in my home country in Europe with DS. We spent a month there, seeing family and friends and enjoying the feeling of being home. Was happy to go back to Asia as both me and DS missed my DH and our own house and cat.
After I came home, I started unpacking my suitcase. I discovered that customs has been searching it by the disrespectful mess they made of it. I bought several packages of my favourite toothpaste from back home, all of them were opened and my toiletries bag was covered in toothpaste inside. They appearently opened the jar of fish oil capsules I brought back as well since they left it open and I found capsules shattered over my belongings. Thankfully none of it leaked on my newly bought shoes or clothes. Threw away the toothpaste and the fish oil capsules as I hate the idea to put things in my mouth that they have obviously been touching.
What upset me the most and what feels like a somewhat misogynist joke, is that somebody appearently went trough my underwear as well and took the beautiful red lace thong from my favourite lingerie set and put it inside the toothpaste covered toiletries bag.
I understand they have to check luggage for safety reasons but this treatment of my stuff feels so disrespectful! I would be upset about having to throw away the toothpaste and fish oil capsules but stop thinking about it after an hour but the underwear thing just makes me furious. DH will make a complaint on behalf of me to the airport (as he speaks the local language and they will probably take him more serious then me, him being a local).
