On the Subject of Bag Searches

Remember, folks, in the world of baggage search, it’s ‘dangerous luggage’ we’re defusing, not ‘the B-word.’ Let’s keep it calm and safe!

Search the bags of 3 passengers and either detain them or allow them to board the plane by following the steps below to disarm this module.

Basic Rules:

For each passenger follow these steps, breach of the rules will cause a strike:

  • Check the airline information on the next page which corresponds to the current passenger’s flight.
    • If the airline does not exist, do not X-ray the bag and instantly detain the passenger.
  • Press the X-ray button to enable the state of the art X-ray scanner device.
  • Examine the items inside the bag, following the items specific rules on page 3.
    • Click on any items to confiscate them.
    • Remember to always confiscate any items which are banned by the airline.
    • Confiscated items’ rules still apply e.g. if a passenger has a confiscated passport, they still count as having a passport.
  • Turn the X-ray machine off again by pressing the X-ray button.
    • Do not do this until all items which should be confiscated have been.
  • Press either the handcuffs or the plane icons to detain the passenger or allow them to board the plane respectively.
    • By default passengers are allowed to board unless there is a reason why they should be detained instead.
    • Doing this will cause the next passenger to arrive.
    • After 3 passengers your shift is complete and the module will be disarmed.
