Airport security guard sues after injuring back by pushing bag of engine parts.

A security guard at Dublin Airport allegedly suffered a lower back injury trying to move a carry-on bag containing engine parts through the X-ray conveyor belt, the High Court has heard.

Deirdre Moore, aged 39, of Somerton, Donabate, Dublin, is suing the Dublin Airport Authority (DAA), claiming it was negligent by failing to provide her with a safe system of work and adequate training before the incident on Mar 31, 2009.

She claims it failed to heed or act on previous complaints about excessively heavy bags being brought by passengers through security.
