Why did not they use larger plastic bags?


Life is worth more than a large plastic bag.

Size matters? I thought the plastic bag was used to keep from breathing in carbon monoxide so that bag meant they would just re-breathe their own air. I guess a larger bag would have meant more room and leeway, but maybe it meant a greater chance of the carbon monoxide getting into the bag somehow?

the purpose of the bag was to contain the carbon dioxide that they exhaled, because the border security officers used CO2 detectors to check for people hiding in trucks, without having to open up every truck and dig through the cargo

A larger bag would have been a good idea. It was probably a "what's available at the moment" kinda deal.
