The Danger of Using a Zipped Suitcase


With the holiday season in full swing I thought this video would be of interest. I travel with a zipped case because it's light, but it's just too easy and quick for anyone to open. I shall return to my old Samsonite now and just pack fewer items.

Explains why I got stopped at Prestwick airport and all my cigarettes taken off me! My case was the last one on the belt and was 20 minutes behind the rest, then as I was walking through the 'nothing to declare' channel, a customs officer suddenly appeared and pulled me to the side. Sneaky buggers.

You think someone had looked in your bag beforehand? Quite possible Rab when you see how quickly it's done.

One of modern lifes many miseries is the clickety click clack of such cases being dragged along the pavement.
Compulsory rucsacs for all says I.

I've bad enough posture without having to hump a rucksack banned. A wheeled suitcase is a boon for me although I use a rucksack when sight-seeing.

Ah Jim I never heard of that before. Inventive though :)

Definitely my Samsonite for me now. Problem is, if thieves want anything, they'll take the whole suitcase!

Oh, meant to say, it reminds me of the technique I use when trying ot get into the wife's knickers! ;-)

I wouldn't know Rab, I always use padlocks to discourage. ;)
