Anele Mdoda’s tweet this week about her bag being broken into at Johannesburg’s OR Tambo International Airport sparked a wave of “Me Too” baggage tampering stories, but airport officials insist that the problem is not escalating.
Asked what passengers could do to minimise their chances of having their luggage pilfered, Pityi-Vokwana said the most important thing was to heed the airlines’ warning not to put items of value"such as a laptop, tablet, watch or jewellery" to succeed into checked-in baggage.

Heartbroken about my two bottles that were stolen from my luggage.""Opting for a three-point locking system instead is the safest option." "They cut into the material of their soft cases by mistake when trying to cut that wrapping off," said Samsonite SA’s marketing head Sarah Pitman.
