Well the attached pic (taken on the ramp, on my iPhone, in DXB) reveals a blatant example of the problem; in this instance it was dozens of such boxes being loaded into the rear hold of a scheduled service passenger B737-800.

To add insult to injury, the cargo manifest made NO mention of 'Dangerous Goods' being loaded onboard (and for which, in any case, the airline does not have a dangerous goods approval) but wherein this cargo was itemised as being 'Computer Parts' !

Needless to say we had them all off-loaded, and a ASR was filed!
