Zenaida and foreign citizens
She wasn't gagged. She had a breathing mask on, because in the baggage area of a plane there is no oxygen.
I wonder what's up with the Belgium girl. (I don't think you can legally hold aliens...I mean for a while, but only until they get deported? Hah. Just realized I've never thought about this.
They've definitely held foreign citizens. It was probably fairly easy to have someone just disappear, especially if it was in fact a real Western spy. No Western country would ask about a person like that, because then they would risk exposing both the spy and their own politics.

I was also wondering about her toilet facilities...which brought back memories from season 2. Ooops.

Re: Zenaida and foreign citizens
For the toilet stuff - it's only ten hours... most people can hang on for that long. Otherwise, a simple plastic box with a lid would do.
