TL;DR
Carry-on luggage at Sharm El Sheikh Airport may be screened several times. Travelers report extra checks for tape, wrapping film, transparent bags and inflatable items, so packing these in checked baggage is safer.
Carry-on bags may be screened up to three times on departure. A roll of adhesive tape was removed for inspection, so packing tape and suitcase-wrapping film are better placed in checked luggage.
At the final screening point, even ordinary transparent plastic bags may receive separate inspection. A child’s ball may also need to be deflated so security can check it.
Boxes noticed around the check-in area may be set aside for additional inspection, and a receipt may be issued for them. In one reported case, 31 kg of checked baggage for three passengers was accepted without issue.
