until they eliminate the monkeys that load and unload the plane, they still will have damaged baggage.

This is also the reason why you actually GET your luggage at Helsinki-Vantaa. :)

My wife used to work as an airport baggage handler- the work was pretty tedious, but her team managed to liven it up with mischief.

One guy always carried one of those metal spike hammers used to break glass. Whenever a bag with any kind of bottle was detected, he would give it a nice sharp tap, cracking the contents open to seep out over everything else.

The best was red wine in a bag full of clothing- this was regarded as ‘hitting the crimson jackpot’!
