NSEU: where I fly, cabin crew sweep the cabin both before and after each flight to unsure nothing untoward is left on board.
Thanks. I assumed cabin crew would do a quick scan for left luggage in overhead lockers, but not be required to do an intensive check in seat pockets and other nooks and crannies (especially after a very long flight). It seems to me like closing the gate after the horse has bolted. On the airline I used to work for, the cleaners, and in some cases engineers, not infrequently found items belonging to passengers in various locations (which cabin crew would not be expected to look). If a passenger
deliberately hid an item, it might never be found.
Am I the only one who finds it less worrisome that the cabin crew missed it than that the fireworks made it through security in the first place?
