police had seized two consignments of drugs, totalling 630kg of methamphetamine worth $220 million, and 112kg of cocaine worth $50.4m

One gang in particular may have a set of baggage handlers which they will almost hire or rent out to another gang, to take a cut of the profits.

How about decrease pay and working conditions so that when a baggage handler suddenly gets money "from somewhere" it becomes more obvious?

    Would this be done instead of having the smuger being fired and indicted? If so, this would significantly reduces the risks for smuglers. They would just get bribes that are worth risking the cut in pay.
