BA to Passenger – Haven’t a Leg to Stand On

British Airways lost the artificial leg of a woman athlete flying from New Zealand to Amsterdam. They told her not to worry, however, because her bag is one of 20,000 sitting at Heathrow. This, of course, left her without a leg to stand on at her athletic competitions for the disabled. Sorry for the poor attempt at humour, but it does highlight the misery inherent in losing our rights for carry-on bags.
