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 everyone's safety.
Did you pack your luggage yourself? This is usually the first question you get asked. This is to make sure that you know what is in the case and to make sure someone else did not put anything else in.
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 everyones safety. It is better to be safe than sorry
Despite the many publicised events at airports around the world people still think it is funny to joke about it. Surprisingly there are arrests every month for the passengers who jokingly say, There is a bomb in my bag
There are arrests at airports throughout the UK each month because someone has said 'there is a bomb in my bag' The check-in staff have to take these comments seriously and contact the airport police.
Jail sentences are not uncommon and at best a fine and community service is the normal result for people who make these stupid comments. Most people have no sympathy for people who do this kind of thing especially as security is such a sensitive subject these days.
If the staff hear one of these comments it is not unusual for aircraft and even airports to be evacuated causing a lot of disruption and at great cost to the airlines and airport itself.
Make sure you keep your luggage in a safe place so that nobody can put anything in it that there should not be in your case and hope that nobody makes a stupid comment and causes your flight to be delayed. - 31515
