"CTV News’ investigative unit W5 has found at least 17
innocent passengers on flights originating in Canada were detained on drug smuggling allegations over the past year after their baggage tags were switched onto suitcases filled with drugs. All were eventually released, but only after some had been handcuffed, arrested and jailed overseas.""W5 compiled the data through court records, news releases and police sources. The cases involved flights from Canada to the Dominican Republic, Paris, Germany, Morocco, Bermuda, the Philippines and Korea, where drug smuggling can carry the
death penalty." That's nasty."In the last year, the RCMP has arrested six baggage and ramp workers at Toronto Pearson International Airport in connection with alleged bag tag switching cases."
