CASE STUDIES
|
Case 1 :
A courier driver arrived at a freight forwarders premises and asked to pick up a large crate which contained black powder (an explosive). The crate had travelled from the east by air and was not consigned or carried by the airline as dangerous goods. The freight forwarder became suspicious and notified CASA.
Investigation revealed that the owner of the crate had deliberately consigned it as non-dangerous then traveled the same route on a different aircraft. The person was arrested by Federal Police and prosecuted. The person served six months of a two year sentence.
The sentencing judge said that it was clear that the person knew he was committing a crime and knowingly and recklessly placed the lives of passengers in great danger. Reinforcing this was the fact that the same person was picked up in a different airport a few days earlier with a brief case full of fireworks after traveling on an aircraft.
