In my travels, it is a rare site. Protection ? The case covering should be protection from the elements. The parts that normally break, the handle and wheels, are still at risk. Security? you will still have to open the bag if inspected. Curious. This is usually to avoid any exposure at loading stations either being airports / ports / bus stations from weather conditions , in preference raining . I am working in the airport here and this is the answer I have got many times from travellers , this is a habit that occurs mostly to people coming from east Europe and ex USSR nations , Poland and Czech Republic also have this habit . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know that at some airports, unfaithful employees open their luggage to look for valuables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is very common in airports here is wrap the bags with a more strong plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratches, small tears etc. Those who travel by plane already know not to put fragile objects in their luggage. These are carried in hand luggage.

RLC does not advertise when looking for tenants for apartments. If anyone applied or fell for it then they win the Tin Foil Hat Award. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
