KLOCKRENT

Det här är den mest begripliga förklaringen hittills på varför det jag sysslar med på dagarna är viktigt.

"Just imagine: A passenger arrives at an airport and Customs asks him some questions about the suitcase he wants to check in.
• Is this your suitcase?
• No.
• Did you pack it yourself?
• No.
• Do you know what it contains?
• No, it was packed by someone else.
• Could it contain anything dangerous?
• I have no idea.
With these answers there isn’t much chance of the passenger joining the flight. But this is precisely what happens every day with many of the containers presented to Customs."
