Rumour file on 3AW today, Qantas will be collecting electronic items
before all flights. I doubt that they could do that, may be more
practical to disallow use of these items during flights.
Good, they can stow my entire bag for me then. I travel tech heavy, and
usually just throw a few clothes into the laptop case if it's going to be a
short trip. The rest are assorted attachments, peripherals, whatnot etc.
I've always wondered why they want me to take out the laptop itself, when I
have a huge array of other electronic shit in the bag too.
Once on the plane, and they ask what electronic shit I have, I just hand
them my entire bag. It's got to be easier than emptying the thing out.
Where are they going to put all my shit?
The overhead compartment where I was going to put it in the first place?
Or are they collecting before boarding, where they stow with normal luggage?
So they're liable when laptops start coming back bent in half because the
baggage handlers threw it in frustration because they didn't find a camel head?
