Default Flying to Toronto? Watch Your Checked Bags

I thought that I would put this up as we have a lot of people who fly on here...for business reasons, etc.

police busted a theft ring at Pearson Airport in an undercover operation that resulted in the arrest of seven baggage handlers, including one supervisor. The police investigation at Terminal 3 recovered $12,000 in stolen goods, including electronics, jewelry and clothing. The probe was reportedly launched after airline passengers complained that items had gone missing from their bags.
Police allege that the group would find the goods and smuggle them out of the airport to be sold.
....

It is not the first time police officers have investigated thefts from luggage at the airport.
In October of 2006, police arrested a group of people for allegedly stealing from a cargo warehouse.
In 2004, a joint operation between officers from Peel and York Regions, the Ontario Provincial Police and the RCMP resulted in the arrest of more than a dozen people.

Might want to always double check things for the next while...
