Item go missing in security check
This shouldn't happen - but it has.
An Australian couple at the conclusion of a seven week tour of Northern Europe go through security at their airport of departure.
Cameras and other pocket stuff are loaded onto trays and disappear through the scanning machine. She overlooks a couple of small coins in one
pocket and is taken to one side and interrogated.
He has a couple of hip replacements, the machine goes "off" and he too is taken off line for further investigation. Meanwhile numerous other pax pass through the system without delay.
Eventually both are released and allowed to proceed to collect their previously deposited articles from the trays.
Except that several items are now missing from 'her' tray including her camera which has on its memory card the last three weeks of priceless photos and memories which have waited a lifetime to be realised.
How the hell can this be allowed to happen in a "security area"? Are people being slack here or deliberately turning a blind eye to blatant theft?
