But what if the airline _doesn't_ lose it. You'll end up on holiday arriving at the hotel with nothing but a load of stinky old bottles, potato pealings, and empty baked bean cans.

baggage is never lost - it is 'delayed'
BA says 7 days before they will compensate and you have to produce reipts for the lost items with a cap of £150 quid !!
they are a bunch of sleeves of wizards.
On a plane to Beijing they did not load 200 peoples luggage at 'eathrow and took off (200 * 20 kilos = 4000 kilos) lighter with a big space in the undercarriage - how did no one know???
cost too much to loose their 'slot' - because of idle baggage baboons ?
a more valuable cargo?
baggage arrived 3 days later soaking wet through - it had been in the pissing rain in Heathrow all the time.
funnily enough everybody blamed the chinese! BA would'nt do such a thing blah blah blah

Phone them up and tell them you're not sure, but you think you left your bomb in there, and you can't remember what the timer was set for.
They'll find it.

I'm sure it would be an interesting diversion to head down there.
They're currently trying to auction parts of that 777 wreckage. Might buy one of the engines to replace my paper shredder.

Then they will do a controlled explosion on it, and get rid of the rubbish for you.

(They also do "sell offs" in this country, its a bit pot luck though as the suitcases are sold with their contents unseen. A nice expensive looking suitcase can go for £30. usually bought by market traders)
There was a feature on the BBC News site about it last year.

You can get some bargains there - since people tend to take away their fanciest clobber with them when going on holidays.
