How did she get the baggage tags to apply that were associated with the legit pax to put on the bags with the weed? My experience is that when they come off they don't go back on so easily.
Arguably easier than smuggling a truck load of gold out? it won't even set off the metal detector.
Most airport security is just theatre, and CBSA is more concerned about drugs coming in than us exporting weed.
They usually have sniffing dogs in passenger area (i.e. baggage claim) so they can catch the person red-handed.
I believe they have the ability to print luggage tags (or does it have to be assisted by the gate agent ?) The same way how gate checked bags are done, she can simply lie about having 2 extra gate checked bags coming off the plane and provide a random seat number to the GA to print the tags ?
