Airport workers busted in Canada

This bust in Ontario gives the Schapelle Corby defense some added credibility. It's a natural assumption that the temptation to make black market money would hit the airline workers harder than most. The opportunites are many and the pay scale for airline workers is not really that great. Not to mention the job security isn't that high either since the industry is so vulnerable to the whims of the economy.

I always thought Rachel seemed too smart to do something so stupid as to attempt to smuggle that much pot so openly. It made much more sense that baggage handlers would have planted it and forgotten to get it at the other end. This Canadian organized the groomers instead, those being the workers that clean the plane between flights, but the scheme is the same with a co-op of sorts formed between two airports.

These guys only got caught on an anonymous tip. Unfortunately for Corby, she just got caught up in the crossfire of an incompetent organization.
