BoyCot Indonesia
I don't care whether Schapelle Corby is Guilty or Innocent. Indonesia and most of the Far East is off my travel plans for good.
Three factors:
1. Untrustworthy baggage handlers.
2. The possibility of bags being unlocked for "security" reasons.
3. The well known proclivities of police forces in the Far East to shake down apparently wealthy westerners, as well as totally corrupt judiciaries, if not whole Governments. As the judge said in the Corby case, he has to believe the police account, and furthermore someone must be punished and since Corby is the only one available, she's going to get punished.
I do not intend EVER to visit countries where such twisted logic is applied.
So forget Phuket and Thailand, I'll never go diving in Sulawesi again, let alone visit Bali, Medan, the thousand Island archipeligo or elsewhere.
I may again visit New Guinea to dive, or go to the U.S., but if I do I will only be taking hand luggage that I can keep my eyes on because I simply have zero trust in the integrity of any carriers baggage handlers anymore, and the penalty could well be incarceration or worse.
Too bad for the Balinese. The Judge has literally just found Corby guilty.
