Question:

Dazo entered the San Jose, California, airport to board a flight to St. Louis, where she was to take a connecting flight to Toronto. At the security checkpoint, then operated by Globe Airport Security Services, she placed her bag on the X-ray machine’s conveyor belt. After proceeding through the metal detector, she discovered that her bag had been tolen. She sued Globe and the air carrier for $100,000 worth of jewelry in the bag. The trial court dismissed her suit and she appealed. Was the decision affirmed or reversed on appeal? For the purposes of the Warsaw or Montreal Conventions, was this an international or domestic flight? Did the theft of the bag occur “during the transportation by air”? If the Warsaw Convention caps the limit of liability of an air carrier, does it also cap the liability of Globe? Do you think that Globe is an “agent” of the air carrier? If so, how would this be different now that airport security is handled by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration? What about other types of air carrier agents? Dazo v. Globe Airport Security Services, 268 F.3d 671 (9th Cir. 2001).
