Fake Hands Placed In Bags To Warn Of PickPocketing

To call attention to pockpocketing, Brussels Airlines resorted to a sort of anti-pickpocketing campaign and placed fake, rubber hands inside un-attended bags. Aside from the fact most people would freak out and scream if they came back to their bag and found a hand inside, we’re guessing airport security wouldn’t be too happy with this marketing scheme. Not to mention the possibility of those inserting the hands accidentally finding themselves faced with a bag full of explosives or some other nasty find. Still, we have to admit this is very effective at getting attention. LG&F came up with the idea.

Psychology says the reason most people never turn their lives around isn’t fear of failure – it’s that they’ve become so skilled at rationalizing their unhappiness that changing would mean admitting they’ve been lying to themselves for decades about being fine
