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 did not put anything else in.

Have your bags been left unsupervised at any time prior to your arrival at the airport. This could be a hotel room or a hotel reception whilst you are waiting to go to the airport. This is to make sure that your luggage could not have been tampered with and that there has not been anything put in your bags without your knowledge.

Even though there have been many well-publicized security issues at airports throughout the world and in the UK people still think it is amusing to 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.

Do not 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 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.
