On our last trip from Italy, my husband had packed some aged packaged Pecorino cheese to bring home in his carry on luggage. We had no problem, until we landed in Atlanta, and had to collect all of our luggage for customs. as I was waiting for him to collect everything from the arrival belt, the cute Beagle kept stopping to sniff his bag. I told the handler what he was smelling, and she said there was no problem, and didn't even ask to look at it. As we were walking back to recheck our bags, we were pulled out of line and sent off for further inspection. They also said, there was no problem, as we spoke to them and they scanned our bags. We did notice that others were being pulled out as well.
Just thought I would get some advice from all of you. Is it okay to bring back cheese in our carry bags? Of course, we would never bring anything back that needed refrigeration. Many times, we have the cheese in our rental apartment, and don't want to leave the leftovers behind.
Thanks. Sharon
