Hi Rick, just to clarify; we don't open the cooler until we get to the boat. I'm often tempted to open in at the hotel on the way down just to check on it but doing so would let cold air out and warm up the stuff in the cooler a bit. TSA does open it. Similar to Glenn's experience, I often find the TSA paperwork in the cooler letting me know they inspected it. They do a nice job taping it back up.

The BVI C&I folks do not open it, they just ask what is in it.

I have a Polar Bear 48 can and a couple of their back pack coolers, I agree they are great coolers.
