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.
To make sure you know what is in your case the check-in staff usually ask whether you packed your luggage yourself. This is to make sure you know what is in your bags
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"
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.
Don't be surprised if you read in the newspapers about someone getting a jail sentence or a fine and community service for doing this.
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.
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.
