Weird as it is, prevention is truly better than cure, as one Chinese woman joined her handbag through an X-ray machine to prevent theft.
The staff at Dongguan Railway Station in southern China were stunned to find the silhouette of a train commuter on their X-ray monitors.
To prove all that, an online video of the incident showing the bizarre episode that took place on Sunday February 11, 2018 during the Lunar New Year travel rush was released online.
After climbing off the conveyor belt, the woman checked her bags and left.
In addition to that, more evidences can be seen as a couple of extraordinary X-ray images shows the woman kneeling on all fours behind her luggage, while still wearing high-heeled shoes.
Though it is unclear why the woman was so anxious about her handbag, many people in China carry large amounts of cash when travelling home for Chinese New Year.
The commuter had earlier placed her suitcase on the conveyor belt before attempting to walk through the security scanner with a small handbag, footage from Pear Video shows.
After that, the woman was then told all bags had to go through the X-ray machine, but she refused to part with her handbag.
A solution emerged from her mind and a plan was immediately formed. The woman's plan was to join her belongings on the conveyor belt, and she climbed out the other side unscathed, with one security guard laughing with surprise.
However, after the bizarre incident, the rail station staff in Dongguan have since advised passengers not to enter the X-ray machines, as radiation given off by the scanners could be harmful, local media reported.
The woman was one of an estimated 390 million people expected to travel by train for the Chinese New Year holiday, which falls on 16 February.
