In 2004, Meindertsma purchased a lot of 3264 objects confiscated from travelers at security checkpoints at the Amsterdam airport. This book is a visual catalogue of those objects, which range from souvenir corkscrews to toy guns. Each copy of Checked Baggage comes packaged with one of the ‘prohibited items’ that appears in the photographs – – – – – – – – – This thick oblong quarto, first edition is a rare and highly collectible modern classic. It comes new, shrink-wrapped (this has split at the bottom and a bit of the sides, but is tight at the top and is unopened) It has its original object – nails scissors, item number 2489 and there look to be some indentations on the cover from them being wrapped with the book (this is common for the object to indent the book cover) Features in ‘The Photobook: A History, Vol. 2’ by Martin Parr
