How a bag can disappear

According to Boeheim, it is far too easy for a corrupt insider to move drugs from an airplane onto Toronto streets. All it takes, he says, is to simply reroute a drug bag away from the more secure international arrivals area so it comes out at the domestic baggage carousel, where there are no customs checkpoints and far less restricted access.

To test that claim, W5 walked directly from the street into Pearson’s domestic arrivals. While one-way doors clearly mark the baggage zone as a restricted area, it is still possible to access the luggage carousels without breaking any rules.

W5 also observed repeated instances of airport employees entering by tailgating through security doors without swiping their passes, meaning there would be no sign-in record showing who entered the controlled zone.

Despite the doors being clearly marked authorized personnel and passengers only, when asked about these security concerns, Toronto Pearson responded that “Domestic baggage claim areas are publicly accessible, including for passengers and others interacting with airline baggage service agents or claiming baggage.

Airport security maintains a presence in these areas, including through patrols. Allegations of illegal drug importation are not within the airport authority’s mandate.”

Security is even looser at other major Canadian airports, including Calgary, Vancouver and Montreal, where members of the public have direct access to baggage carousels.

But there is obviously more to this than luggage getting switched..

The Canadian drug mules were lured in by social media job offers and friend groups. All claim they did not know they were transporting drugs.

My guess is, they recruit some poor young person who needs money, tell them exactly what suitcase to bring, do the swap after they are checked in through security. Definitely a inside job.

Im not surprised though, reading a article yesterday about how the royal crown would rather drop cases than reveal what phone/computer spying software they are using.

Wow just faced my first captcha requiring a mobile device, oh man so fucking dystopian.

All they need to do is go to WalMart and buy the luggage that is on sale at that period. They are guaranteed to find at least one traveler with the exact same luggage.
