When you check-in for your London flight or in fact any flight from a UK airport since the security concerns have been heightened you are asked a few simple questions. These simple questions are for everyones safety.
The first question that the check-in staff ask you whether you packed your luggage yourself. This is to ascertain whether there could be anything put in the luggage without your knowledge.
When you check-in you are also asked if the luggage you are checking in has not been left unsupervised. This is to make sure nobody could have placed anything in your luggage and is for everyone?s safety.
Even though there have been many well publicized security issues at airports throughout the world and in the UK people still think it is amusing to say 'there is a bomb in my bag'
Amazingly this wisecrack gets people arrested at airports throughout the country on a regular basis. Airport staff are instructed to take these comments seriously as are the police who must treat every incident as genuine.
Jail sentences are not uncommon and at best a fine and community service is the normal result for people who make these stupid comments.
Once a bomb comment has been made aircraft and airports have to be evacuated which can cause a lot of disruption and make people miss connecting flights or suffer long delays.
Make sure your luggage is safe at all time and that nobody can interfere with it and make sure anyone travelling with you keeps their jokes to themselves. - 16752
