Devil is in the details

1.3 million tons in 30 suitcases 
I don't like to pick nits when it comes to headline writing...but I suspect someone might have caught this one:

1.3 million tons of cocaine found on flight

 "French police on September 11 seized a record haul of 1.3 tonnes of cocaine found on board a Paris-bound Air France passenger plane. A source close to the French investigation said that the cocaine, which was packed into 30 suitcases, had a street value of some 200 million euros ($270 million)."

I was first suspicious when I saw the 1.3 million tons.
I grew even more skeptical regarding the 30 suitcases.
I wonder if they were in the overheads. 
Just wondering.
