A couple of years ago, I watched on YouTube as a scraggy chap was caught on a certain airport’s CCTV helping himself to a good wrist watch at the security screening.

Every time, I find myself removing my belt and wrist watch, I get a panic attack that the fellow next to me may not be up to any good. Consider that nowadays you have to drop your smartphone and wallet and the real risk of losing something quite precious becomes apparent at any airport worldwide.
