Meantime my rucksack, containing 2 metal biros, a plug and adaptor, a pair of needle pliers that were forgotten items....went without notice?WTF!!!! I then, out of interest, as I waited for my Doc Martins to come off the belt, asked what the reaction would be if they had found an item of metal cutlery,a knife per say, from CX, that I had intended to return having inadvertently removed it from a previous flight....answer..immediate arrest!!!... This is now the ridiculous state this "industry"has descended to...divine comedy doesn't even get close...!
