Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily,” Tony said, ”You dont have any luggage, right?”“Only this backpack,” Tom answered. ”You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”“Thats right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”“Thanks.”Is Tom a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier(空中信使). And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris.
