Since 16 October, CAAT rules allow checked bags at Suvarnabhumi to be inspected without the passenger present. Inspections are supposed to happen only after a security alert, and a written notice should be left in any bag opened. Airport management denied a blogger's claim that her bag was searched, saying CCTV and screening data showed no opening by staff. For business travellers carrying samples, stock or documents: keep valuables, key papers and essential items in carry-on, use approved locks, and check your airline's complaint route if a bag is disturbed.
