Kathmandu Airport: Touts at the airport

When we were checking in for our flight back to Delhi, there were a few uniformed guys at the baggage counters, openly demanding a bribe to let baggage thru without paying excess baggage charges. Also, to help you jump the queue etc...
Infact, we had forgotten to X-ray our bag since we we thought we were running late. The guys at check-in didnt seem to think it was a problem, and checked in our bags without even a X-ray screening!
A few weeks later, when the same Delhi-bound flight was hijacked to Kandahar, in the now infamous episode, i was not surprised that the hijackers chose to board at Kathmandu
