Ya gotta love these headline writing geniuses:

“Baggage handler at NYC airport gets life in prison”

So what, like he was too rough with the luggage one time too many? Broke an American Tourister? Pilfered ladies’ undies?

I think they could have spared a word like “cocaine” or “smuggling”.

They just let a baggage gorilla go in there and DO that? And keep it up, on both sides, for nine years?

I guess drug smuggling is more profitable for the baggage handlers at Kennedy than stealing stuff from passengers' luggage.

They got me once, but I will never give them another opportunity to rip me off.

Honestly, the idea that someone can get life in prison for smuggling cocaine is disturbing to me.
