G`Day,
After reading an article about security with carry-on baggage reminded me about a (potentially bad) experience I recently had on a flight from BKK to SYD.
After I stowed my Qantas board case in the overhead locker in F, had a bite to eat and went to sleep. After arrival at SYD a fellow passenger stopped me on the air-bridge and asked if I could check my case as he thought he might have accidentally put his mobile phone inside which turned out to be correct. We both suddenly realised the dangerous complications of what could have happened, drugs or all sorts of illegal items could have been placed inside without the owners knowledge.
Since then I have put small padlocks on all zips and always check the two pockets at the front that cannot be secured before leaving the aircraft. I know a kid could open the small padlocks but it at least stops anyone quickly putting anything inside.
Hopefully the above will give some “food for though” to all passengers whatever class they fly….you can never be too careful in today’s world.
Kind regards, Traveller F
