once, they forgot to take my suitcase off the plane in the airport i got off in (the plane was continuing on to another destination). since luckily i noticed this in time, they were able to call someone in the cargo bins to retreive my suitcase before it left to Tahiti (or wherever).
however this was taking quite a long time, and meanwhile my father was waiting for me "on the other side" with no news. i thought it might be nice to tell him that i had not in fact missed my flight, and would be there shortly (with luck), and since i was not allowed to leave the baggage area and then return, i asked one of the agents to make an announcement. so they called the help desk in the waiting area to transmit the news.
this is the message they gave : "please inform Mr. K that his daughter is being detained in immigration, and that it might take a while."
i never checked a suitcase since then.
[EDIT : this decision has nothing to do with european pants, which fit my european bum just fine.]
