At the airport will they handcheck carry-on luggage if you ask them to?

Ahh NO, all carried baggage goes through the x-ray, if you have 800 speed film or higher they can check that, otherwise, no it all goes through.

Do you mean, 'hand check in place of x-ray'?

Perhaps, but they might not. If there is something in your luggage that is senstive to x-ray you might better to remove that item. Have them hand check that item, and send the rest through the x-ray.

Yes they will check your carry-on luggage if you asked them to.

yes

I don't think that they would generally, if you say that you have a sensitive piece of equipment that can't get x-rayed then they'll just ask you to take it out, but put the rest of the bag through.

yes they will.

yes, but make sure you have a name tag attached.

After all of the scares the U.S. has had, trust me, they will check.

Yes. Most airlines will do this for you at the gate.

At the air ports , checking of your baggage's , whether it is cabin luggage or booked luggage , is entirely at the discretion of the security personnel present at the spot.
Some times level of security alertness also matters.
And you as a passenger , has no option in any of the checking procedures
Happy flying.

I assume you mean hand-check as opposed to putting the luggage through the scanner.
Yes, they will do this.
Why do you want to do this?
If it's because of photographic film you could keep it in a clear plastic bag separate from your luggage, send the luggage through the scanner, and let the film be checked by hand.

yeh no smugglisng crack or bombs, in fact id bet if u asked them to do this they would point a gun at you and tell you to accompany them to the backroom where your bag would be xrayed 16 times just because you asked them not to. i wouldnt do this it would raise suspicion.

AmAnDa LoVe!

i think they will prob start to do that any ways

Brian Reed

Yes.

Yes ! Airlines staff shall gladly help you to get your hand bag, hand checked, by security staff, as long as you don't act suspicious.

mr_oilfield_78

Yes they will.

Why would you want to do this in the first place. If you are just wanting them to check and make sure that you aren't carrying anything you shouldn't be then you need to call the airline and ask what you can and can't take before leaving home. This will save you time versus asking to be checked by security.

Yes
Do not ask such questions again.
Your name will be on the watch list as a possible terrorist link.
I hope that you realise the seriousness of your action.
