Oh, so BA and BAA and their staff are lily white and the rest of the world are stealing everyone blind? Come on, it happens everywhere no matter what you say.
Please read the recent news reports about people arriving without luggage, only to receive it a day or two later and all the "goodies" missing. I assume that all of that was done in another country other than the UK?
Have lived in only 6 countries in my short life and there were people who are dishonest in everyone of them. Lets realize that it happens everywhere and try to correct it!

PS you forgot the apology for my FA.
