You may have heard about Schappelle Corby, the
Australian surfer who has been arrested and sentenced to 20 years in
prison for smuggling in 4.5 kgs of cannabis in her boogie board case
into Bali. Some people say that the drugs were put inside her case by
luggage handlers in Australia – and if true, this is not the
first time Australian baggage handlers have come under suspicion for
this kind of thing. It makes you wonder about how just safe your
luggage is from tampering. Many airports offer plastic shrinkwrap
around suitcases and yet the US advises that luggage should be left
unlocked so that customs can make routine inspections. What to do
– what do you think?
