Collecting baggage from the carousel
I lost a bag this week and I'm fairly sure that someone took it from the carousel, probably mistaking it for their own.
The thing is, even with all the security we have these days, how come there is no system to check that a person has the correct baggage? Anyone can take whatever bag they fancy and have a fairly good chance of making off with it. There is no visible customs presence at airports any more. You pick up a bag and you are through in just a few moments. Its that easy.
It should be impossible to take the wrong baggage. I wonder how often people never see their bags again?
