If you are concerned about the practice, the CTV article offers a few security tips:

• ⁠Take photos and videos of your bag at the airport. Document what your luggage looks like before you hand it over.
• ⁠Take a photo or video of your bag being weighed. That can help confirm the original weight of your luggage in case anything is added after check-in.
• ⁠Make sure your bag tag is securely attached. Before your bag disappears onto the conveyor belt, check that the tag is properly fastened and clearly visible.
• ⁠Keep a record of your baggage receipt. Do not throw out the small sticker or baggage claim receipt until your trip is over and your luggage is safely back in your possession.
• ⁠Use a luggage tracker. Several victims told W5 that tracking devices helped show where their real bags had gone.
• ⁠Take a photo of the bag tag itself. Make sure the tag number, destination and passenger name are visible.
