Ultimately these airlines choose to neglect due diligence and hired criminals. They should settle with these people and sue their ex-employees in turn as well as have much stricter hiring standards.
Direct result of our government incompetence and corruption enabling this.

Well I guess legally the airline’s aren’t responsible or they would have had an interview with one in of the many Airline experts saying they were responsible.
This entire series of stories is crazy to me and sounds like it has been an going on for a while!
Everyone refuses to pay until they get sued
Wouldn’t it be the airport authority that is responsible, they are the employer of the people switching the tags are they not?
I think it will get better after our government sells our airports to foreign companies.
i think it should be Pearson airport that’s responsible, not the airline themselves
being used as a unwilling mule to smuggle drugs is so scary that it makes me think twice about flying through Toronto
I’d say who cares who’s responsible after the luggage gets checked in.
The airline took the money and the bags, therefore the airline accepted responsibility.
Period.
The foreign authorities who wrongfully detained these people should bear some of the responsibility as well. These should be significant diplomatic incidents that should generate travel advisories.
The airlines are the primary service provider. The bag tag switch incidents were obviously not their fault but it was their decision to subcontract the luggage handling to multiple third parties so they hold the responsibility and should compensate these victims. Plain and simple.
If the company I work for produced an equipment that exploded and caused human or financial harm, we would be liable regardless of how many subcontractors we used to produce that equipment.
Im gonna be coming back from cancun soon. Am i gonna find my clothes replaced with the good stuff?
Why aren’t there cameras at every step of the process?
I’m just curious if travel insurance would cover any of these costs ?
Horrible. New nightmare awoken. But curious – why does the drug cartel switch tags? Is there someone waiting to see if it gets through security, and grab it then? But the actual owner of the bag wouldn’t pick it up on the carousel because it doesn’t look like their luggage… and the drug smuggler would be stopped going through security and arrested even if it had a different nametag (or do they say whoops, I thought this was mine?).
