Put yourself in an employers shoes. They really care about the content, not the design. They're sifting thru lots of resumes looking to spend 70,80,100k on a person, a templated colorful design just is not an influencing factor at best

Even if TSA treats passenger cargo the same as commercial cargo, the airlines have a responsibility to comply with commercial cargo regulations. Your average app user looking to make $5 isn't capable of guaranteeing compliance
