Sometimes
people just don’t use their common sense. A man once recounted this
incident at an airport. He said “I was at the airport, checking in at
the gate when an airport employee asked, ‘Has anyone put anything in
your baggage without your knowledge?’ To which I replied, ‘If it was
without my knowledge, how would I know?’ He smiled knowingly and
nodded, ‘That’s why we ask.’
