As I’ve been travelling over the past couple of years I can’t help noticing the proliferation of machines at airports that will wrap your luggage in a ton of bright blue plastic for a small fee. My only thought is…why?! A complete waste of money and resources in my view. What if security need to get into your bag because something looks suspicious on an x-ray? What happens to all that plastic once you get your luggage back?
See a recent video of some fool getting their luggage wrapped at Budapest airport here:
“Let’s see, do I have everything? Currency – check. Passport – check. Tickets – check. Luggage wrapped in a ton of bright blue plastic – check.” Again, why?
I’m quite surprised that our supermarkets haven’t yet adopted the European practise of sealing your existing shopping bags in another plastic bag to halt shoplifting…I’m sure it’ll only be a matter of time…
Blinkin’ stupid if you ask me. And did you see the guy cut the wheels out after, so the silly man could still pull it along?
What is that traveller thinking? – “Hmmm, he’s done a good job of wrapping up my case in that blue plastic stuff”
