Got an idea for next month's banner?
How else did anyone think drugs were being imported into NZ?
Somewhat sensational given the article does have a quote pointing out it's not a new nor novel smuggling route.
Having griped that gripe, good on the fuzz for busting a smuggling ring.
Perhaps AIA could improve pay and working conditions for baggage handlers to reduce the efficacy of the smuggler's offers?
How about decrease pay and working conditions so that when a baggage handler suddenly gets money "from somewhere" it becomes more obvious?
Now that's thinking with your Captialism.
Would this be done instead of having the smuger being fired and indicted? If so, this would significantly reduces the risks for smuglers. They would just get bribes that are worth risking the cut in pay.
Improving pay won't do anything. You'll never pay more than they make smuggling drugs.
They are already on decent wages with decent working conditions.

Or rewording that, creating further job opportunities for drug dealers.
This really punches holes through the whole image of secure airport facility.
Makes you wonder that if they can smuggle drugs via air, how has no terrorist managed to smuggle a bomb onto a plane in this way?
Metrojet Flight 9268
2015
UK security service investigators say they suspect someone with access to the aircraft's baggage compartment inserted an explosive device inside or on top of the luggage just before the plane took off.
Yep, it's all security theatre for us proles.
3 months home D for these "troubled childhood" victims.
