I also put about 30 medals in a similar position in my parent's bags after they had come for a visit while I was living in Moscow. Unfortunately, the x-ray machine caught one of them that had fallen over, and it was done for... They tore apart my folks bags right there in the airport, and confiscated every medal that was there! The funny thing was that I had some WW2 general's uniforms in one of the bags and they didn't even give them a second look... it was the medals they were after!
