After the security issues at airports, security at all airports in the UK has been raised. So when people check-in for their London flights they are asked a few simple security questions. After all security and peoples safety is very important.
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.
This question is asked to see if there was the possibility of anyone putting anything in your cases without your knowledge.
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"
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.
It is now not unusual for people to receive jail sentence for doing this or at best community service and a large fine if you are lucky.
If the staff hears 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. - 16759
