When I went to Mexico last year I borrowed a work colleagues suitcase. In the Mexican airport my name was called out and a bemused me was taken into a private room and asked if I had packed my own suitcase. I said I had, but as I said it I suddenly thought, 'this isn't my case. What's hidden in the lining?. I hadn't checked before packing.

As it happened, part of the hard covering behind the lining had crumbled and and it had appeared that I was hiding something.

I was stupid to borrow someone's suitcase and not unzip and check behind the lining but people do stupid things all the time. You only have to look at the overflowing disposal bucket at baggage check in the UK to see how unthinking some people are when flying abroad.
