Calgary Airport May Not Be Secure
A couple friends of mine travelled to Cuba recently. Upon returning home, they both had items stolen out of their checked baggage. One had a camera stolen, and the other had rechargable batteries removed from his suitcase. They departed Varadaro, Cuba and landed in Calgary on a Westjet flight July 28th. Now, the items may have been stolen in Cuba, granted. However, an airline official did say that there has been recent trouble at the Calgary Airport with items being taken from passangers bags.
My friends both contacted police, filed the paperwork, and contacted Westjet. Thankfully the items were not of high value, and there were no pictures on the camera that would have been lost. However, it begs the question, if it is that easy to remove items from luggage, is it that easy to put items into luggage, items of a dangerous type???
