28,000 bags caught in T5 foul-up
It will take up to a week to return 28,000 bags placed in temporary storage after troubles at Heathrow's Terminal 5, a government minister has said.
A spokesman for British Airways said: "Because we are unable to use the automated system for reprocessing and rescreening delayed bags in Terminal 5, bags are having to be transported to other sites at or near Heathrow to be rescreened manually before being brought back to be loaded on flights to their destinations.
Members of BaggagePIN have the added protection that if thier baggage is among those 28,000, Brithish Airways have access to to the legal owners contact details.

The Department for Transport has approved new security arrangements at a number of airports in the UK. This means that at these airports the restriction previously imposed limiting hand baggage to one item per person will no longer apply with effect from 7 January 2008. However, airlines apply their own operational policies governing the number of items of hand baggage which may be taken in to the aircraft cabin.
Before departing we strongly suggest you check with your airline on the cabin baggage arrangements for your particular journey.
