Having personal items checked by an X-ray conveyor belt is a necessary hindrance that no one really enjoys. One woman at the Dongguan Railway Station in China, however, felt particularly strongly about having to give up her bags to the security machine and decided to crawl right in there after them.

Needless to say, the images are quite interesting, looking like something straight out of a Stranger Things episode.

The video also shows the woman climbing out of the security machine. According to the PearVideo post, she wanted to protect her bags from theft.

Per BBC News, no one really knows why this woman was so insistent on accompanying her bags, but during the Lunar New Year rush, many people travel with large amounts of cash.
