I trotted down to the QANTAS service desk as requested (they look after O'Connors' baggage handling) to be informed that my bag was vibrating...... I hastily assured them that would be my shaver (well, what else could it be...?.) and was directed to the baggage enquiries counter to solve the problem- they couldn't fix it themselves because my bag has a padlock. For my penance, this involved going all the way back to the exit by the security screen point, down to the baggage hall and all the way to the end of it to the enquiries counter. And then all the way back again, through the screening, and back along the concourse to the far end. Thankfully, the QANTAS folk looked after my hand luggage so that the trip through the screening was relatively painless. I won't forget to engage the switch lock on my shaver again.... I wonder how often this sort of thing happens?
