Maybe their intention was to put it into a domestic bag but when their plans were thwarted (for whatever reason) they quickly stashed it where they thought it could be re-routed and retrieved at a later date by another baggage handler.

Who knows? However it ended up on a flight going into Bali which makes no sense from a commercial stand point. It was obviously thought to be a safe way to hide the contraband TEMPORARILY as it wasn't concealed very well at all.

This is a sham.

Is a prisoner exchange in the works?
