Excellent. I'm guessing that in this universe they don't launch an immediate security alert if a passenger checks luggage in but doesn't board, which considering it's a different universe and pre 9/11 isn't too unreasonable. The Swiss security thing sounds like HG's work, I'm afraid my memory's gone blank on where it fits into the story - I'll just have to re-read it when you archive it (hint hint) and I can shove it onto my ebook reader.
