please people keep them cases locked; upon arrival back home at adelaide from bali via singapore was surprised to find cam corder missing from its bag which in turn was in main luggage.just prior to main baggage check in after passing through xray security was asked by guards to open case (wasnt locked) they asked me to show them camera so i knew for sure that i had packed it.They never bothered about the second case but appeared to take notes then sent us on our way;when i discovered the loss i rang a friend in bali and he informed me that just recently a number of security people at denpasar airport had been dismissed for pilfering.I rang singapore airlines with this information but they were not really interested in following up further like wise with my travel insurance company.Seems no one wants to rock the boat;.the attitude is Claim on insurance and forget it but maybe this forum can alert tavellers that security checks have morethan one purpose.Haveing said all that i will still go back like i have been doing for a few years now.

CHEERS EVERYBODY
