Stupid Criminal of the Day

SYDNEY (Reuters) – A baggage handler
wearing a camel suit taken from a passenger’s luggage has left Qantas
Airways red-faced, with Australia’s national carrier investigating a
potentially embarrassing security lapse.

Passenger David Cox complained after he saw a baggage handler driven across
the Sydney airport tarmac Wednesday wearing the camel suit that had been
packed into the baggage he had checked in only minutes earlier.

Cox, a marketing manager, had checked the camel suit and a crocodile costume
onto Qantas flight 425 from Sydney to Melbourne in a large bag which had
been marked to say it was carrying animal costumes.

He said he was standing near his boarding gate and at first thought nothing
when a child said "there’s a guy with a moose head." But then
he looked up and saw his camel costume.

"I obviously was flabbergasted. My jaw dropped to the ground," Cox
told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio.
