Theft prompts airport to consider reinstating bag checks
The Phoenix police have discovered a stash of nearly 1,000 stolen bags in a home about 35 miles from Sky Harbor International Airport. Detectives searched the home after airport surveillance cameras showed Keith King removing bags from the luggage-claim area, just weeks after he was issued a misdemeanor citation for the same crime. Though Sky Harbor officials say baggage theft is “a rare occurrence,” they will consider reinstating routine bag checks that were suspended several years ago in a cost-cutting move. Airoptions suggests that you immediately to to the baggage carousel after deboarding your flight. More about this: The Arizona Republic (Phoenix) (11/4)
