Feds arrest Delta baggage handlers in drug smuggling probe at Metro Airport
Federal agents toppled two separate drug rings today run by baggage handlers who allegedly imported marijuana and cocaine from Jamaica and Houston while working at Detroit Metro Airport.
Twelve people — including 10 baggage handlers — were arrested early today in an investigation dubbed "Operation Excess Baggage" and accused of exploiting weaknesses at several airports to run drug-smuggling pipelines since at least 2009.
So all of the hanky panky by the TSA screeners is fruitless if these "weaknesses" are exploited for more dangerous means.
