After an investigation found that travellers’ baggage tags are being switched onto suitcases containing drugs to facilitate smuggling through Canadian airports, Transport Canada said it will take measures to prevent further incidents.
An investigation by CTV’s “W5” found that at least 17 passengers on flights leaving Canada were accused of drug smuggling over the last year after their baggage tags were switched onto suitcases containing drugs.
