They go off into the city while their luggage is already checked in through to the destination. This is also how some illegal immigrants enter the country. |

| 856445 | 2010-02-10 02:25:00 | I don’t know if I’m dead unlucky or not, but it’s happened to me on about 25% of flights. If you’re waiting at Auckland Airport the paging system never stops looking for someone. I remember holding the plane up once through no fault of my own. Customs were just overwhelmed, don’t know why, but they weren’t breaking from their routine. Anyway, I finally got to the plane which just happened to be at the farthermost gate, puffing and panting and apologising profusely whilst trying to explain it wasn’t my fault and I thought they may have gone without me. The hostess smiled sweetly and told me “We wouldn’t have gone without you, we knew exactly where you were”. :eek: Don’t know how it works, but they must be able to check when you’ve gone past different points. I think there may be a lot more to this Airport Security than meets the eye. ;) |

Make the same joke in Australia or the USA and most of the passengers in the terminal would be looking for you to tear you apart limb by limb if they had been made to leave the terminal and recheck in all over again or had there flight delayed and onward connections missed as a result of your *joke*. It is a serious matter airport security, always has been but more rigid now than it was before 9/11. Upset passengers can be as grumpy as airport security......... |

This is equivalent to you running around shouting "here I am" non-stop as you proceed through the airport ... |

Even scarier, is my passport is an old 10yr one that expires in 2013 and they were still on to me. :eek: Then, my geriatric soul can’t understand how a Chip, or whatever, transmits minus a power supply? :confused: Jeeez, one day I’ll wake to find there is such a thing a perpetual motion. :eek: Well, I hope so! :lol: |
