I thought it was just an incident after half my luggage was stolen out of my suitcase at Prague, including a nice leather belt, a new shirt and a silk tie. I reported that to CSA a six months ago, but unfortunately I have received no answer.

That's the tip of the iceberg. Last week the Latvian Post office reported that 30% of all mail and packages going through Prague airport had been broken into, vandalized, or simply gone missing.

Anybody have any information on this new Prague scam, or has it been operating all along, even with the new security in place.

BA recently used CCTV footage to prosecute a few baggage handlers in Prague after it emerged that they had been thieving out of passengers bags! The CCTV equipment was built into the hold and apparently they were caught in the middle of their act and it was all on camera! Say cheese!!! :D
