An American woman has been arrested and held in the Philippines after airport staff discovered a baby inside of her carry-on luggage as she was preparing to leave the country
Obviously not someone to contract with to traffic/sell infants to! Stuffing it in a carryon that will be screened/scanned? Not even attempting to fabricate documents? Really?
Another thing is the age of the newborn. Airlines have restrictions for the minimum age of an infant (for medical reasons). I believe that for most airlines a baby needs to be at least two weeks old and some airlines require an infant to be at least a month old.
A friend of mine adopted a baby (legally), from another state, and took the baby home on an airplane when it was only (I believe) four days old. They lied to the airline about the infants age. Luckily, the infant did not have any problems but, IMHO, it was pretty risky.

The story I read said they caught her at the gate, so it sounds like she got it through security??? That has to be incorrect.
Dumb lady, I bet if it had been in her arms and she had a pleasant smile like
a glowing mom, all would be fine. No?
