SeaJay - yes, I read exactly the same article and that's what got me thinking. I feel I would be a really good international courier because I'm flexible and reliable. The jobs I've Googled seem to just provide discounted air fares, which isn't what I'm after. I'll keep looking. Thanks for the advice, guys. Peter Pendant, I pity you.
Queen's Messengers always used to be recruited from the ranks of retired military officers. Maybe they still are. They get a seat in first class, and so does the diplomatic bag. They are met at the airport by embassy cars, and delivered to the embassy in style. They commonly stay in the ambassador's Residence while in the country - mainly for security reasons. So they can't get nobbled. Their badge is a greyhound.
When did QMs stop getting first class seats ? When I used to work in close association with an Embassy which shall be nameless, all their QMs arrived first class. Downgrading the secure mail doesn't seem a good idea, does it ? Actually there were different grades of "Bag", since all diplomats used it for personal correspondence. Only the top secret stuff was actually personally accompanied.
