Qantas Man in Camel Suit

A baggage handler wearing a camel suit taken from a passenger's
luggage has lead to Qantas Airways installing cameras in the
baggage handling areas.

Passenger David Cox complained after he saw a baggage handler
driving across the Sydney airport tarmac on Wednesday wearing the
camel suit that had been packed into the baggage he had checked in
only minutes earlier. Mr 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 marked saying 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. Mr Cox
later told ABC radio: “I obviously was flabbergasted.
