On a domestic Australian flight with Jetstar, travel journalist Rebecca Andrews employed an unconventional packing trick to avoid excess baggage fees.
Andrews slid her laptop down the back of her stretchy jumpsuit, which she had already worn through security, in an attempt to conceal it.
However, her plan was foiled when an air steward noticed the laptop sticking out of her jacket, resulting in a fine of Ksh.6,500.
Andrews defended her actions, stating, "I think it is the laziest idea I have ever had. A woman's body can create human life, so exploiting this unique ability is quite an uncreative hack, really."
She also revealed that this was not her first attempt at such a trick, having done it several times before with varying degrees of success.
Andrews' justification for her actions was that a woman has the right to do whatever she wants with her body, including faking a pregnancy made out of laptop wires.
