A video taken at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom shows the moment a Ghanaian man was investigated because the metal detector triggered an alert on him.
When he was taken to the private side room, it was discovered that the man wore six different clothes, and the last one had a metallic button which was causing the trigger.
The officials asked the Ghanaian why he did that, and he indicated that the weather was too cold for him to endure, hence the pile-up of clothes.
However, one of the officials who spoke in the interview indicated that it was obvious to him the Ghanaian did not want his luggage to be heavy, so as to ensure his bill is not high.
