Amazing how the lessons of Lockerbie, and the rules on unaccompanied baggage have been forgotten, 25 years after that major tragedy.

Do we assume these bags were specially screened?

With what they contained I doubt any competent hold baggage screener would pass them as the contents should show up as expensive icing sugar, so are the baggage security staff in on the deal?

PanAm 103 showed the way the villains could get a target using controlled drug runs (ignore all the official about Megrahi and Malta!) and it looks like we're looking at another actual weak link.
