A new thriller has sparked viewers’ attention as some passengers draw references while traveling through airports.
Netflix’s recent film, “Carry-On,” tells the story of an airport security officer who races to outsmart a mysterious traveler, according to the streaming service’s website.
In the plot, a “dangerous item” becomes the focal point of tension, sought to be smuggled onto a flight set to depart on Christmas Eve.
The movie’s trailer features a striking black suitcase adorned with a vibrant red ribbon—a common tactic travelers use to easily identify their belongings in the often-chaotic setting of an airport.
Recently, a user on X shared a candid snapshot of a similar black suitcase with a red ribbon at an airport, playfully captioning the photo, “If I see this at the airport, I’m canceling my flight ASAP…If you know, you know.” The humor ignited a flurry of reactions from fellow users.
Comments flowed in as peers joined the conversation:
“I see what you did there,” one user remarked, lighting up the thread with a nod to the film.
Another chimed in, “I get your point,” as the association became clear.
Responding to the lighthearted banter, one gentleman quipped, “Then you must be a coward.”
Amid the laughter, another user humorously remarked, “Nah, I’d leave the airport immediately.”
“Lol, I get you,” echoed someone else in the digital chorus.
A thoughtful reply followed with reassurance: “You will be fine at the end.”
And then came the encouraging words, “Just CARRY-ON, bro,” inspiring a whimsical twist.
One individual said, “Just finished watching it today,” further connecting their experience with the film.
Responses poured in, especially from those who were puzzled about the connection to the suitcase and the movie.
“Go watch Carry-On; you will understand,” the original poster advised, bridging the understanding for newcomers.
In a thought-provoking moment in 2024, a baggage handler from Dublin Airport, speaking to RSVP Live, cautioned travelers against tying ribbons to bags, as it could complicate the scanning process.
The TSA, a cornerstone of airport security, emphasizes that officers rely heavily on the traveling public to report any unattended bags or unusual packages. They advise that if anyone sees something that raises concern, it is their duty to report it to local law enforcement.
The TSA guidelines also suggest that travelers with particularly unusual items that might trigger security alerts should inform a TSA supervisor or manager upon arriving at the airport.
