Probably everyone's least favorite part of traveling is going through airport security. There are so many rules! However, if we consider the cool math it involves, it can actually be rather fun! For example, how many bags can fit on that conveyor belt? Does it depend on the length of the bag? The size of the belt? Can two bags fit next to each other? What if there are some odd shaped objects going through the x-ray machine, like a pair of shoes? How does this effect the amount of items that can fit on the belt?
