Flight travel is getting more expensive but surely there are easier ways to travel then via baggage belt. However one passenger managed to achieve this feat although not intentionally.
A 36 year old Norwegian man who wishes to remain anonymous , arrived at Rome’s international airport at the end of last month with a backpack and a can of beer in his hand.
The Norwegian man was due to check in for a flight to Oslo and when he found no one on duty at the airline desk he leapt across the counter and fell into a deep asleep on the baggage belt with his bag beside him.
As the belt began to move the unsuspecting tourist reportedly travelled for 15 minutes through the secure baggage area in Terminal 3 before officials spotted his body curled up in a foetal position in an X-ray image on their monitors.
He slept through the whole episode and airport police had trouble waking him when they were called to the scene to investigate what had happened.
A senior officer from the airport police said the incident exposed no weaknesses in the terminal’s security and it’s not the first time they had incidents involving “drunks or people with psychological problems.”
Concerned about the Norwegian’s exposure to the powerful X-rays, police took him to a nearby hospital before reporting him to prosecutors  for causing alarm at the airport.
