Has anyone ever, in the entire history of aviation, ever heard of people smuggling drugs in other peoples luggage? (apart from being used as an excuse when cought red handed)
No. Thought not. Think about it. It's laughable. Until Ms C. got caught it's never ever been known. It's ridiculous. Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on perfectly good quality drugs and then put them in a random strangers bag? They would'nt. Period. It just simply does not happen. Somebody please find me one time when this has ever proven to have happened. Please put me out of my misery.
Maggs, you will have a great holiday. You have nothing to fear. Nobody wants to smuggle anything in to Bali utilising your luggage. The worst thing is that a thieving luggage handler may break in to steal anything of value, but that is it.
I'll repeat this for you. Drug smugglers do not hide their drugs in strangers luggage.
Enjoy your holiday.
