Good thing the cops got him before he ended up in the gorilla room!

This is crime the old fashioned way.

They bought a bus ticket, a large suitcase, & a head lamp to steal a laptop & a GPS device that they couldn't resell for more than a couple of hundred dollars. Add to that possibly spoiling someone's holiday if successful, or getting locked up if unsuccessful. Is it really all that hard to polish up the old resume & make some honest money?

Just to clear this out: Krzysztof Grzegorz = Krzysztof Grzegorz (middle name) M. (M. is initial of his surname) and Jouoastaw K. = Jarosław K. (K. is initial of his surname).

just wondering how security would have kept a straight face asking

"did you packyourself sir ? "

I guess weight limit on regular luggage is not checked? Do the x-rays only show metal? I havn't been on a plane in years and don't want to be. We went on a trip when it was 'code orange'. I'd had hip surgery, so I have a metal implant. It was quite embarrassing. They escorted me to a roped off area with metal chairs and had me remove my shoes. Then they finally scanned me. Everyone was watching. Another trip I bought a SEALED bottle of water before hand, because some waters make me sick. I couldn't bring it on board. I've heard of items like tweezers and knitting kneedles taken away. I understand why but why can't the airline put it in a safe place and let them have it back at the end of the trip? I hope all these idiots who have caused all this extra security get their justice in the end. Try opening something these days. I'd hate to imagine people with arthritis. It must be very agravating.
