(248) Defeat Dishonest Baggage Handlers

How to defeat dishonest baggage handlers. You be amazed at how quickly someone can open your suitcase, rip off your stuff, then close the suitcase WITH NO SIGN they were ever in it! Baggage handlers in South Africa were first caught on video using this technique about a year ago, and the trick has spread around the world faster than a plague. From my personal experience while traveling for work for the USG to different countries in Africa (Burundi, Kenya, DRC, ROC, Namibia, S. Africa, Tanzania, Ivory Coast, Liberia, and Mali), I've lost countless items from my checked baggage. Our equipment cases are often tampered with or damaged in attempts to gain entry. Fortunately, we have not had any equipment cases breached yet. Team suitcases have been pried or sliced open dozens of times. Arriving in Kenya once in a direct flight from France, my suitase was "lost" for several hours. It later arrived at the hotel broken open and with the garment bag containing my suits missing, complete with a pair of dress shoes... So yeah, my travel to different countries in Africa is limited to only a few countries, but of all the places in the world I've lived, worked and traveled, I've had more trouble with lost, damaged or missing luggage on Africa than any other continent.

BosnianBill, in the few times I've flown, I've learned that at least in the united states with checked baggage, the TSA isn't going to open your bag in front of you--it goes through scanners later on after you're separated from it, unlike carry on baggage. So there's no opportunity to provide them with a key and watch while they use it. I don't mean this as some challenge to you, but rather I'm sharing my experience and hoping you can provide further insight on this issue.

I love the humor mixed in with the more serious talk about protecting valuables. Outta nowhere, a handgrenade appears :)

[simonclark]

if they see a case like that with locks like that...they will definitely just take the whole case.

[whiskeyfur]

Add into it GPS tracking and there ya go..
"Yea sorry, we lost your luggage.."
"Weird.. my GPS says it's in the home of one of your workers.. care to swear out a warrant?"

[oglordbrandon]

Fuck, Somebody stole my hand grenades...

[diamante]

hahahahahhaha didnt expect that hand granade

[drkshdow]

1st Suitcase = Hand Grenades

I use to work as a baggage handler loading luggage into airplanes and this is 100% true. I've seen guys doing this. The supervisors know it goes on and do nothing about it, hell even some of them do it as well. They also use your luggage to transport drugs and money. One guy here on the east coast use to buy drugs from his friend who worked as a baggage handler at a airport in California. Baggage handlers dont have to go thru security. You use your key card and go thru a door behind the ticket counter and now you're on the ramp with the planes. His boy would tell him for example "It's going to be on flight 9314 and should be arriving to your gate at 7:15. I put the goods in bin #3 in the first red suitcase you see"
So dude would tell everyone I got bin 3. He would drive the belt loader up to it, jump in the bin, rip open the suitcase and get the drugs out, seal the suitcase back up and go stash the goods in his locker until his lunch break then hed go put it in his car. Some of the guys there worked as teams. One guy looks out while 2 guys in the luggage bins under the plane are opening bags and rummaging thru them taking whatever valuables they want. Sometimes if in a hurry they will just rip your zipper completely off your bag bc zippers would sometimes get caught on the floor of the bins when sliding bags and get accidentally broken off. So sometimes they would just rip the zippers off and say it got snagged on the floor.
But the ball point pen trick hes showing in this video is the #1 way they get in your bag. Especially if they are using your bag to transfer drugs or money to each other across the country.
If a dog ever sniffs you out at an airport and you get searched it could be bc there was drugs in your bag during your flight but the baggage handler got them out soon as you landed.

Every single time I've put a lock on my suitcase it's been cut open by the TSA. Every. Single. Time.

[GavinFish]

Hey Bill. Just saw LPL's video about your retirement. Happy retirement and thanks for all the videos!

[derkaka]

This is from TSA's website:

"When locking your checked bags, please use a TSA Accepted & Recognized Lock. TSA is mandated by Federal law to screen 100% of checked baggage. Bags may need to be opened during this process. If your baggage needs to be opened and inspected, TSA may have to break unrecognized locks to access your bags. TSA will not reimburse passengers for unrecognized locks broken as a result of the security screening process."

I had one of these luggage like yours with non-TSA lock, and I had it for years travelling around the world...until I travelled within the USA, they destroyed (forced open with a crowbar and when they figured they couldn't, they sawed it open, yes they sawed it!) my precious luggage just to see what's inside and they taped it back with duck tape at the end. I was shocked to see my luggage with my stuffs all over the conveyor belt... So you can use one of these but just no the USA! 

[ghost_ship_supreme]

That case is one of those kinds of cases that draws attention immediately

[rhetthouse]

i hate it when people steal my beloved, antique, family heirloom hand grenades!

[ObiwanNekody]

This video taught me a lot that I hadn't known before. Your videos will be missed. I hope your retirement is even more fruitful and enjoyable than you are expecting.

[halim]

This is such an eye-opener. The next luggage I buy for check-in won't be those with zipper anymore. Thanks so much for making this helpful video. Much appreciated. Cheers.

[dimosk]

and here i am travelling accross europe with a soft fabric baggage and no lock at all. never lost anything
good guys european handlers :)

[RockOnDoooooooooood]

How about putting the black suspicious case (that might "get lost") inside of a common case like the red one as to not attract immediate attention

[MrCGangsta]

if the stole my handgranades I would be in big trouble I need them for deer hunting

[MrSleptOne]

I just did this to my own suitcase. Needless to say im upgrading before i fly again. Thank you kind sir for all of your wonderful videos. They have really made me rethink security.

[winreacts]

That black suitcase is crazy looking af lol.
If I ever checked that in, people will think there is a bomb or something in it.
