Is this even allowed? At LHR, for example, you cannot leave the BA lounge if you left bags at the luggage check. (though I don't understand why. Same reason removing post-security lockers makes no sense. If you made it through security, you have nothing dangerous. It's like they're admitting security screening is no good).[/QUOTE]

....keep your luggage attended. any unattended luggage will be collected and destroyed....

once at lhr, someone left a briefcase beside one of those watch/jewelry counters near us. we were moved, and a bomb type squad came out to collect the package. the owner showed up and took his case. the authorities told him it was a criminal offense to leave that case unattended.
