Cheap Beijing Flights With a Dangerous Catch

"Also, an inevitable question when going through security checkpoints in some countries is "did you pack your own luggage". I assume that if you answer "no", you'd be subjected to a very thorough search for bombs or contraband."

Yeah, but that's actually probably not the biggest problem here. A thorough search for bombs is just that - a thorough search. Some people are selected randomly for this kind of search. Unless you're actually carrying a bomb (and that is one thing this company does say it protects against), then you shouldn't have to worry about this.

(Although all the other things said against them seem exactly right to me, so I'm not in any way endorsing them.)

I always suspected if you answer 'no' to that question then they'll just refuse to check the luggage.

I always suspected there's a lot more than just that. Basically, an intensified inspection and whatever follows from the findings.

If they allow you to continue flying that is.

Of course they inspect first, for as long as it takes, and whether your flight goes without you is secondary.
