🛃
What 🛃 means
A rounded blue square with the white print of a person same as the official in 🛂 Passport Controls, but directing his extended arm into an opened suitcase or luggage.
The 🛃 Customs emoji represents one of the most important airport procedures; luggage checking. This emoji signifies scrutiny, safety, checking, air travel, and a sense of radaring incoming goods.
How and when to use it
- Customs essentially checks one's travel kits, suitcases, luggage, etc. This process could be used on a smaller scale of 'security checks' as well. Like, "They have bag checking at the entrance, btw 🛃" or "You wouldn't be able to sneak in a single edible into the place 🛃".
- Being part of the security team requires practice and training as any profession. So, while referring to 'training' precisely to be in the security operations or generally, you can use 🛃.
- Speaking of training 🛃 may even suggest 'qualification'. For example, "Your qualification doesn't matter as long as you're skilled enough 🛃" or "It's sad that passion and talent are only boiled down to certification of qualification 🛃".
- You may bring 🛃 into the context of physical searches and frisks as well. For instance, "That entire bag was frisked 🛃" or "They were excessively searched just because of their skin tone 🛃. Sick".
