No luggage :(

One of the first off the plane, definitely the first through customs, the first standing at the baggage carousel, standing in the place where the bags first drop...

But no bags for me.

While apparently carrying 50 kitchen timers (a key ingredient in bomb making) to Mali was not a problem, carrying my dirty laundry home was.

When I went to the luggage claim desk the woman had my name on a post-it and just casually mentioned that they wouldn't put my luggage on the plane due to security concerns.

Thing is, my luggage was in the Lisbon airport for 30 HOURS! That's not enough time to rifle through my dirty underwear and get on with things?
