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.

  1. 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.

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

  7. 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!
