Recent Canadian investigations have exposed a frightening gap in baggage security: your airline tag can be removed from your real suitcase and attached to a different bag. CTV’s W5 reported at least 17 travellers were detained after alleged baggage tag switching incidents, with six Toronto Pearson baggage and ramp workers arrested in connection with related cases. It is a reminder that your baggage tag is not just a paper label. It is the thing connecting your name to a suitcase.
