...he was waiting inside the terminal at Sydney Airport earlier this week when he glanced outside and saw the baggage handler wearing his camel head.

[SeamusVA]

I wonder who was wearing the kangaroo costume...

[VRWCisme]

Forget American Express, don't leave home without your trusty camel costume!

[camle]

such abuse of a highly respected and trustworthy animule!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

You can't make this shit up.

Akmed, somebody stole my camel!!

[nuconvert]

LoL

[prairiebreeze]

I hate it when my camel costume gets tampered with in airports too.

This incident is already being brought up in the case of the (allegedly hot, but not really) Australian chickie who is on trial for bringing pot into Bali.

She has been claiming all along that the pot was put there by somebody else at the airport.

Here's a picture of the camel costume in question:

He’s the one on the left, for those zoologically deficient.

Too funny. What was this idiot thinking when he put on the costume? Did he think the owner up above in the terminal is going to think "Oh, that's probably not MY camel costume. That baggage handler must have his own."

[Lee Heggy]

Ok, after that story I have no doubt that it IS Friday.

Remonds me of a favorite Terry Prachett quote from Soul Music:

There was a roar like the scream of a camel who has just seen two bricks.

He said he was shocked to realize that his luggage had been tampered with, and reported the incident to the airline

I don't even want to THINK about the bad things that could happen to your stuff at airports. The opportunity for stealing and tampering is incredible.

It amazes me, too, that there isn't more theft at baggage claim areas.

[shellshocked]

The man won't be arrested for theft. It seems no TSA employee is ever prosecuted.

[Modernman]

I don't know why he opened the bag, but once he did, who could resist putting on a camel head?

[DainBramage]

In the middle east this costume is considered provacative.
