And then you go to Prison in $COUNTRY.<p>This idea:<p>1: Only makes sense in the first place as a way to avoid VAT and other tariffs, and so eventually you will get shut down and prosecuted, this is literally smuggling.<p>2: Certainly going to be used to move around <i>very bad things</i>.<p>3: In the extremely unlikely chance that people don&#x27;t go to prison for the various crimes this either requires or encourages, and this idea takes off, Airlines will respond by finding ways to prevent it from working.  That &#x27;extra space&#x27; in your bag is currently being sold, or the airline is saving money on fuel.  They have a huge financial interest in shutting this down.<p>If I were a country with people smuggling in, say, macbooks in this way, I would just confiscate any unopened macbook that came through the airport.  In most cases people would appeal the confiscation and the macbook would be returned, but how many macbooks have to be held for good before it is foolish to use this service?<p>This will never work and it is a very stupid thing to try.  Even attempting this requires the people carrying items to lie to airport security and customs, every single time (did you pack everything yourself? Were you given any packages to carry for another person?)<p>OMG this is dumb.
