11 Sept 23:31 Key points summarised by AI

CCTV footage shows an unidentified man delivering a package to a Thai Airways flight attendant before her departure to Australia, where she was subsequently arrested for allegedly attempting to smuggle heroin.
Investigators believe the flight attendant, who operated a Facebook-based parcel-carrying business, was recruited through social media to transport bags containing over AU$50,000 worth of heroin, concealed in the seams, for an attractive payment.
Thai authorities are reviewing baggage screening procedures for airline staff to prevent future incidents and warn the public against carrying unknown parcels across international borders due to severe drug trafficking penalties.
