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”

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.

Once a bomb comment is made it is possible for airport and aircraft to be evacuated which will cause severe disruption and could cause other passengers flights to be delayed thus missing onward connecting flights and facing long waits.

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.
