Baggage security at Johannesburg Airport
SA Airways has announced that they will be offering a free baggage
wrap service at Johannesburg Airport starting from 1 July. The service will start in the domestic terminal, and will be introduced to the international terminal in a month or two. 1) In spite of the SAA spin doctors insistence that baggage tampering is within international standards, this is a tacit acknowledgement that SAA have been unable to implement decent securty measures to ensure the safety of passenger's baggage, and 2) I expect the incidence of theft from baggage will dramatically rise in the international terminal until the service is offered, as baggage handlers will know that security levels will be lower, and because they wll try and steal as much as possible before the door of opportunity is closed. Baggage tampering is a HUGE problem at JIA, so be warned. At least 50% of my friends, colleagues and associates have had bags opened and items removed. I've had nothing stolen (YET!) but I have recently had three bags sliced open and my clothes "gone through" while the handlers look for cellphones, electronic devices and cameras. Marc |
