If the bags have been out of your sight and someone could have the opportunity to place anything into your bags then you should be concerned. That is why when crew leave their hotel rooms they are not allowed a hotel porter to carry their bags to the hotel lobby and why they are watched at all times, even as they are loaded into the crew transport.
