Description

Bringing readers and travelers a fascinating but cautionary account of an airport's baggage-handling system, Steve Chart shares the many interesting and at times humorous investigations he undertook as a security consultant to the Airports Company South Africa. In 2007 Steve Chart was appointed with the task of assisting in the reduction of baggage pilferage at OR Tambo International Airport in South Africa. What Steve soon realized, however, was that in terms of security, the airport wasn't a vessel with a small leakage problem but a boat on the absolute verge of sinking. He discovered a criminal incursion within the South African travel industry, encountering countless cases of corruption, poor management, and no desire to take responsibility. This personal narrative of his investigations serves as a reminder to the public about protecting their luggage, themselves, and their fellow travelers.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
