rickleye: Yes, TSA do open bags. For regular travelers there is a lock you can use. All they have to do is open the lock and check if they suspect anything. All your belongings will definitely be intact. 1 Like 1 Share |

Another Report Has this to say on the world's worst Airports for baggage theft and loss: Top 5 Airports Where Baggage Is "Lost" Or Delayed Olga Brighton Travel Information As wonderful as travel is, if you were to ask people what they considered to be the worst part about travelling and seeing our wonderful planet, nine times out of ten they’d say it was the journey, or rather, airports and flying. This is one reason why travel insurance can be so useful, because lost luggage can be a nightmare, but it’s a bit easier to deal with if you know you can claim for it. While some airports are fantastic, others have a less than stellar reputation when it comes to lost or delayed baggage. Here’s a look at the top airports in the world where baggage is lost or delayed. Gatwick Airport, London It’s sad but true that Gatwick features on the list. London is one of the most culturally diverse and popular cities in the world, but unfortunately for those of you looking to jet in, or jet off abroad via Gatwick, it’s considered one of the worst airports in the world when it comes to lost and delayed baggage. While improvements are being made, by reading online reviews you can tell what an issue delayed baggage at Gatwick Airport really is. Whether it’s sheer weight of traffic, a lack of manpower, lack of care or a combination of the lot, if you are planning on flying via Gatwick Airport, be wary that you may be at greater risk of losing your luggage or having a long wait for it. It always helps if you check that the correct destination airport tag has been placed on your checked-in luggage, as this can account for it going astray. Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Pakistan Up next on our list we have an airport that is not only considered far from perfect for when it comes to lost, delayed, or even stolen luggage, but an airport considered to be one of the worst in the world. Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Pakistan is expanding its customer base by around 14% each year. Surely then, this increased footfall would help the airport to make some much-needed improvements? Sadly it doesn’t seem like it. The current airport is simply too small, and just cannot cope with the 5 million plus passengers it sees each year. Because of this, you are virtually guaranteed a delay when the time comes to collect your baggage. And that’s if you are fortunate enough to collect it at all. Amongst the airport’s many problems, lost and delayed baggage is high on the list. Juba International Airport, South Sudan While South Sudan isn’t the most obvious destination for holidaymakers and tourists, it is very popular when it comes to travellers and aid-workers. Juba International however, is one of those airports that words cannot do justice for describing just how bad the environment is. It’s considered one of the worst airports in the world for a few reasons. Rather than the typical airport terminals you might expect, Juba International uses tents instead, and including parts where the roofing doesn’t fully shield you from the elements. Floors are rotten in parts, the walls are crumbling, and in all honesty, it’s surprising how this airport is still in operation. Needless to say, with conditions as they are in Juba International Airport, it’s not surprising that looking after your luggage may not be the number one priority. So our advice would be that if you do need to travel through Juba International, pack very light, leave your valuables at home and don’t take anything you aren’t prepared to lose. Santorini (Thira) International Airport, Greece Greece and the Greek Islands, despite its well-documented political and economic struggles over the last decade or so, remains a firm favourite for tourists and holidaymakers from all over the world. With its wonderful climate, friendly locals, breath taking scenery and delicious cuisine, we can see why. The Island of Santorini is no exception. Unfortunately, one of things that lets it down is Santorini Thira International Airport. The main compliant is that the airport is simply too small to cope with the tidal wave of holidaymakers that descend every summer. Many reviews speak of prolonged waits, often stretching outside the airport in the punishing summer sun waiting to collect luggage. When you do eventually make your way to the luggage carousel, you can look forward to being greeted by absolute chaos. Delayed luggage is virtually guaranteed, and lost luggage is not uncommon either. London, Luton International Airport Another ‘London’ airport. The main reason for the delays in luggage is down to the fact that recently the airport underwent some much-needed renovations, which slowed absolutely everything down. While there are no huge issues with lost luggage, it does still occur here, and delayed luggage is sadly very possible. That brings our look at some of the worst airports for lost and delayed luggage to a close. The best advice we can give here is to sort your travel insurance out nice and early, pack light, and don’t pack anything you would be devastated to lose. 1 Like |

While I personally don't know of or ever heard of anyone who has had baggage stolen at any Nigeria airports, baggage theft is actually rife in America. JFk airports and O'Hara Internal Airport Chicago reputedly top the list of US airport notorious for missing peoples luggages. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rrKOI2I1P4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZgFCQmx4LE |

rickleye: You are 100% right especially as he mentioned perfumes. I was going to tell him the same thing but saw your comment first. It has happened to me and we locked the bags (which is not recommended) and authorities had to cut it in order to inspect the perfumes. I am happy to blame our country just like the next guy but almost certain that it was not Nigerian Airport folks in this case. 2 Likes |

If he didn't wrap it now, we would have said he was not careful enough. the idiots on this thread blaming him for not being careful enough have obviously never returned to Nigeria from anywhere and they don't understand how baggage handling works. You don't see your bag until it comes to the carousel. Between unloading from the airplane and sending it for baggage claim, several airport staff have unfettered access to your bags and belongings. I will go out on a limb and say that perhaps the wrap attracted them in the first place. Nigerian people are just dishonest. very sad and annoying. If this can happen on a regular basis - what are the chances that they would not put something incriminating in your bag just to get you in trouble?? The people responsible for this are not different from robbers. Robbers with a job: rob returnees and visitors of their belongings. Damn! 1 Like |
