Agreed Wickers, though it won't stop a determined baggage handler on a wrecking mission

Arrived back from Austria, coming through Glasgow airport. Was looking through the curtain at baggage arrival, and saw a wee fat guy on top of a 10 foot pile of baggage,throwing the bags down on to the ground.

Unfortunately, on that trip, had taken a banjo, wrapped in ski clothing, multiple layers inside the rucsac. Arrived home, and the neck of the banjo had snapped.

Big Clue.......
Dusty vehicle tyre tracks imprinted on the ski bag

At the time, like most travellers, we were just happy to see the skis eventually appear in the baggage hall. How many folks would then unwrap their kit and examine it closely?
