The Axe Effect
Till some time, I'd just heard of the security ramp-up at the airports. A few days back, I got to see it too.
A deodorant in my personal baggage was stopped,screened and confiscated by airport authorities.This ,despite me making frantic attempts to save my poor li'l deodorant.I even sprayed it on myself to show them that it actually WAS a deodorant and not some fluid bomb!!!
Futile attempts.Finally I packed up and left. (I had a flight to catch)
Net loss of Rs 225/- (price of deodorant)
Net gain = Some avoidable body odour !!!!
On a more serious note, what happens when you donate your deodorant to airport authorities?Is there a way to get it back?Or get re-imbursed?Who is responsible?What if it wasn't a deodorant worth 200 bucks and was a Bvlgari perfume worth 4000 instead?
Security is indeed important and checks are necessary.But will passengers keep paying for it like this?
