Airport reminder: Do not check-in people!
Authorities at Sweden's Bromma Airport didn't find it funny or entertaining when they were made the scapegoats of a stunt by private television station Kanal 5. A heavy bag was brought to the check-in counter and during procedures, the bag was opened and a dwarf hopped out. A hidden crew was filming the incident, expecting to get a crazy reaction to the situation, something that could be aired on the comedy channel.
Other than feeling "shocked and humiliated" it is unclear how the airport staff actually reacted, and the channel promises that "extreme situation entertainment" footage is all they wanted.
I think it's quite an original candid camera tactic, and since the airport isn't pressing charges, looks like they're not taking it too seriously either.
The things people do for a giggle. Sigh.

Its nice they didn't press charges. I was going to assume with todays society they would be sued to the full extent of the law. All airlines should be checking luggage at every airport every time for dwarfs; or "little people" to be politically correct (and other things of course). This was something they were obviously not going to get away with but if they did then the airline would look really bad. Just goes to show the airline can take a joke (no matter how NOT FUNNY) while doing standard procedures.
