What is the one thing passengers should never do when checking in their luggage at an airport?
|||Cape Town - What is the one thing passengers should never do when checking in their luggage at an airport? Tell check-in staff they have a bomb in their bag when they don’t.
A Krugersdorp man learned this the hard way at the Cape Town International Airport on Thursday.
The 52-year-old was arrested after joking that he had a bomb in his bag, and he could spend 10 years in jail.
Airport spokeswoman Nonkanyiso Nyilika said the man had been going through the check-in counter when officials asked if he had any items to declare.
He told them he had an explosive device in his bag.
Police spokesman Andrè Traut said the man was to be charged for contravening the Civil Aviation Act, an offence that carries a 10-year jail term.
He will appear in the Bellville Magistrate’s Court on Monday. - Cape Times
