"About nine pounds."
NINE lbs.?
WHoa ... that's allot.
as I understand this, she claims the drugs were put in her bags by workers at the Australian airport. If she had checked luggage, didn't they weigh it when she checked in? Seems a 9lbs weight change would be noticed ?
After this, I'd be sure to have the check-in person note the weight of my checked luggage before letting them have my bags. Also have a list of everything in my bags. That way they couldn't displace 9lbs of my belongings and replace with drugs or other contraband.
This story makes me sick.
