What happens when you misplace a bag on a flight? In India, that depends on who you are. For instance, Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj managed to mobilise several senior police officials and local party leaders in Chhattisgarh when she discovered a bag she'd brought with her on a flight to Raipur was missing. Swaraj discovered the loss soon after she left the airport with Chief Minister Raman Singh. She notified an assistant who soon had the top security and political brass hotfooting it to the airport in search of the bag. It was found inside the special aircraft Swaraj had used. She was duly informed but no, she said she didn't need it and would collect it after her day's programme was over.
