I noticed that over on Neil Gaiman’s journal he talks about a perfect news story, and wondered if it would seem less perfect if he knew the details of the case. The baggage handler is suspected of interfering with a passenger’s luggage by placing 4 kilos of marijuana in her luggage. The passenger is currently on trial in Indonesia and is facing the possibility of the death penalty.

Edit 13 April: In fairness to Neil, while I seem to recall news reports linking the two cases (more directly than it simply being same airport, same airline, same city etc), I can’t seem to find them online at the moment. It might be child-induced fatigue. Either way, a step back on my part. The story is funny on the surface, but at the least resonates unfortunately when more info is available.
