The story has been on the national news here for the past 2 days. Absolutely
devastating outcome IMO. I just don't understand their reasoning. The one
article said they don't believe she was set up because that doesn't happen
often or something to that effect. That's just ridiculous!!! How on earth is
that solid grounds for ignoring her claims?? I feel so sad for her and her
family. :(

Apparently in Malaysian law, it is up to the defendant to prove their
innocence. So to prove she is innocent, she would have to produce the person
who owns up to putting it there. Difficult to say the least.
There is now a shrink wrapping operating at the nearest international
airport. But, in view of this case, you also need a certificate of weight
put on it, so the changes have to go a way further. Thus if the shrink wrap
is disturbed and the weight is different and nothing has been taken out that
was put in, you possibly may be able to prove it wasn't you.
Providing also that there are no nefarious baggage handlers that would
replace the shrink wrap and weight certificate.
Looking in the light of the impossible, one of these days air travel will
require a personal interview, with a review of your luggage contents. Only
require you to turn up to the airport two days before your flight, lol.

Sheeesh! That' crazy!

Right but what defines a nefarious baggage handler and who the heck is going
to believe anyone that makes that claim anyway. Seems like to them everyone
is guilty no matter what.
