Is it still possible to get free air travel by flying with someone else's bags?

Question

A few years ago it was popular for struggling college students (and others) to have their airfare paid by companies that dealt in pairing up people's bags or animals or documents with someone flying to the destination of those items. Is is still possible to do this, what with all the new security regulations?

Answer 1

It was called couriering.  Since 9-11, it has disappeared.

Answer 2

I don't think that program is in effect anymore - security's far too tight. Sorry. :\
