In Reply to: New Scam at Airport posted by Sunshine on Saturday, 2. January 2010 at 13:57 Bali Time:
every airport I have been to in the world......and there have been a few, only allow 1 lighter per person to be carried on oneself - not in luggage (hand or stowed).
This rule has been in place for a very long time.
Your comment to the security guard was not only rude but uncalled for since he was only doing his job. Seems you were, and possibly still are, bitter about losing, what, about $20 worth of lighters.
And you ask if anyone else has had this "treatment"? It was a procedure not a treatment that he saved just for you.
Thank god for your "silly bugger" mate for being honest.
Maybe you should read CASA website and in particularly the SAFETY section before you gob off about the loss of your lighters.
Shame.
