How is it that all of us Latinos put freaking ribbons on
00:04
our suitcases to tell them apart.
00:06
It's like a traveling checklist,
00:08
suitcase, moni, you know,
00:10
that's a freaking suitcase from a Latino.
00:13
Like it's like a tradition passed down.
00:14
Not even a good one.
00:16
It's like a pet that you kind of ripped it all janky
00:20
but oh for sure,
00:21
definitely. Well, brother,
00:23
what if I told you that putting one of those ribbons on
00:26
your suitcase could actually delay your bag in the scanning process.
00:30
Well, why? Oh,
00:31
and you can even lose your luggage,
00:33
you know? All right.
00:35
Well, let's dive in.
00:36
Shall we? Apparently,
00:37
bags with ribbons can't be scanned automatically?
00:40
So, it's a little thing,
00:41
image technology. Apparently this delays the process and makes it more
00:45
likely that your bag won't make it on to your flight.
00:48
Experts say that it's you know,
00:49
better not to have stickers ribbons or other accessories.
00:53
So it's just more simple to scan,
00:54
I guess that makes sense because yeah,
00:56
then they put the sticker on your thing and then the ribbons
00:59
next to it and if it kind of gets in the way
01:01
they can't scan it to move it beep,
01:03
you know. But I feel like this being lazy.
01:06
Yeah. And then it helps me kind of distinguish which one's
01:09
mine because there's a lot of luggages that look like mine.
01:11
I'm so basic, you know,
01:12
when it comes to it's like a basic black luggage.
01:16
Like how many black swaps are there from the swap?
01:19
Me or this guy Jones?
01:20
I forgot where I'm going to be honest.
01:22
But, it's crazy too random.
01:26
Super random, but apparently Mazan is having them in your suitcase
01:31
also triggers an alarm and could delay your suitcase as well.
01:36
And this is why it has the same density as some explosives
01:41
So your bag could be removed and searched.
01:43
So don't be putting Maz Aane in your suitcase.
01:47
It's like a little Mazan bomb,
01:48
dude. That's crazy.
01:50
I mean, I mean there's an explosion of flavor.
01:55
That's all you can think of.
01:56
It's like, no,
01:59
I think they're just going after and I,
02:02
at this point I'm still putting a ribbon on mine.
02:04
Yeah. Well, actually not to be the freaking nerdy ass
02:08
guy but I put an air tag in it.
02:10
I like seeing it.
02:12
I like seeing it.
02:15
It's over the ocean but,
02:18
and I also too,
02:19
I like that the flights also have the they let you
02:23
know now some flights let you know.
02:25
Ok, your baggage made it onto the airplane.
02:27
Damn, that's not Pilates though.
02:28
Huh? Nah. Fuck that.
02:30
Pilates would never. So let us know,
02:32
are you gonna put a ribbon?
02:33
Are you maleta or are you gonna go ribbon?
