CASE STUDIES



Case 2 : Federal Police were called to a baggage carousel at an International Airport regarding an unclaimed bag. An inspection of the contents revealed a fire extinguisher (dangerous goods), a blue pullover and a packet of sandwiches.

A report was submitted to CASA who traced the baggage ticket to a resident, just arrived from overseas, who denied any knowledge of the bag. Enquiries were made back through the airport where the bag was first checked in. The baggage was traced to a taxi driver who regularly drops passengers at the airport.

It was finally discovered that the passenger had inadvertently taken the taxi drivers bag from the boot and had not noticed that he checked in an additional bag. This shows how easily things can happen. Also it is assumed that the taxi driver was wondering what happened to his lunch.
