Coming up with the idea in the first place is the kind of thing one would expect here.

Your comment about slaves is patently ridiculous - people can leave Dubai whenever they want, and choose to go there to earn far more than they earn in their home countries.

As to the unions argument - well I'd rather live in a place where unions don't bully intimidate and destroy other peoples livelihood to get an unearned, overpaid job doing very little of value.

Its flight specific - almost no flights have baggage checks before boarding.

The OP has extrapolated a single personal experience to be something that happens regularly.

Four years of flying in and out of Doha every week and I've not had it done once.
