It angers me...
...that airlines and airports are consistently unable or unwilling to stamp out theft. I mean, in theory every employee must pass security checkpoints every time they come or go, so how hard can it be to stop people swanning off with large items, which they clearly didn't arrive with, don't need for work, and can't provide proof of ownership? I realise that you can't stop it altogether - small items are easily spirited away, and anyone can succumb to temptation if desperate enough; but there seems no excuse for there to be 'notorious' airports for baggage theft.

Off topic really, just something I wanted to get off my chest.

I competely agree
To this day I have enormous mistrust of baggage handlers, and what angers me the most is that some airlines offer to plastic wrap your luggage but at considerable extra cost! So they are profiteering from their own obvious security failures.

Utter cunts.

p.s. it wasnt the price of the tent at all, I loved that tent, it was my new prize possession and I only slept in it once, in my back garden.

And of course, even if you have it wrapped, you just advertise it as a probable juicy target. It can still opened at any point by "customs" (real or not), and since they won't re-wrap it, once again it's open season on your stuff.
