Thieves on the prowl at airport

Chennai: Kind attention of passengers waiting at the departure terminal of Chennai airport for international flights. Please double strap your baggage before handing it over to the check-in counters, for loaders may steal an item or two. This could well serve as a good announcement as several passengers complain of losing things from their x-ray scanned-and-sealed baggage. The arrest of four loaders on Tuesday came as a reminder of the menace. Airport officials say they are doing their best to prevent thefts. "We have CCTV cameras installed at all places covering the corridor at the baggage area inside the airport. There are plans to install more CCTV cameras. We are also thinking of alternative arrangements to curb thefts," said airport director H S Suresh. Though police statistics show only a few cases, passengers say they often don't bother to complain. Many passengers realise the theft after they reach the destinations, and some feel they had left behind some things back home.
