You may have checked in online and already answered?

[steveo3002]

[K77 CTR]

I wasn't asked this week either

[Gargamel]

Question " Could someone have tampered with your bag without your knowledge"

Obviously I never bite, but the temptation...

Depends if you want to spend the next 5 hours with a grumpy official tampering with your rectum.

I checked in some hold luggage on the BA flight to London from Aberdeen last week and now you mention it, I wasn't asked all the usual questions either. Actually, when I say 'checked in' it was at the bag drop as I'd already checked in online so I may have answered the questions then...

They do seem particularly humourless when it comes to that kind of thing. I did once mention bombs at checkin when swmbo was asked, thankfully they limited themselves to a thorough check of our luggage This was pre-9/11 though.

I imagine they've heard every line going.

If you think about it, who the hell is ever going to answer honestly anyway? It's not under caution, it's not taped, there is a sign showing what is forbidden and less and less travellers speak English...
"Any drugs in the bag?"
"Er...no"
"Guns?"
"Hmmm, define guns.."

"Do you have any bombs or guns in your bags sir?"

"Goddammit...you've caught me!"



In response to "Do you have any sharp intruments on you" my "Only the wife's tongue" never went down well either

Check in desks have (should have) dangerous goods signs in view.

For some airlines this fulfills their requirement.

Airports are installing self service bag drops now which are unmanned, again the sign fulfills the requirement.

BA staff should at a minimum ask if you've seen the sign.

Some non IATA airlines couldn't give a chuff and not overly bothered if a bag for another flight is loaded by mistake, they'll happily assume you left the C4 at home with out asking.

Going through security, I was asked if I was carrying anything "sharp"?

"Only my wit" I replied.

I missed the flight. They're not keen on jokes. Of any kind. Ever.

"Is this your bag, sir?"
"I hope so, I married her".
