I totally ignored her although from the look on my face she was left in no doubt what I thought. When paying for my purchases I was sarcastic and asked do you want to look in my bag now to which she said no it wasn't necessary. Luma's have a sign up asking you to leave your bag at the entrance but I have never been asked by them to leave it there. Not sure if it is normal in Indian shops but certainly it wasn't necessary when I went to the big department store in Bangalore.
