Since the recent security issues at airports around the world, security at airports in the UK has been stepped up as well. So when you are checking in for your London Flight for example, you will be asked a few simple security questions. These questions are there for all travellers security.
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 didn't 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 everyone?s safety.
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.
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.
So after checking that you packed the luggage yourself and that it has been in your possession the whole time you only have to worry about any excess baggage charges unless someone travelling with you makes a bomb in the luggage wisecrack.
