Thank you for the help! It might be Secret Spy, I'm trying to find a more detailed summary of it.
The reason I thought of Secret Spy first was it appears to be more a "reader", since you weren't sure it was a kids book.From Librarything Description for Secret Spy: "A spy secretly exchanges tape recorders with Jeff Avery as they pass through customs and then desperately tries to recover his machine."
56 p. Carlton, VIC, Australia : Pitman, 1979. Paperback.
ISBN 0858965461
I read it years ago so forgot details.
From Google Books. "A new spy in Sydney? YES. But why is he after Jeff Avery? Jeff hasn't done anything wrong - or has he? Special Agent Penny knows big trouble when he sees it - big trouble for everyone chasing the secret spy."
It is actually on openlibrary (borrow free).

I'm rereading and so far details do not match. The main characters are men carrying two suitcases anda cassette recorder.
Just finished reading it. I agree it is a quick read but got he impression it was set in Washington DC, not Sydney as the back cover said ... no details matched your query.
But I'm sure it can be found.
The only other I've read is The Bird Smugglers (Fly into danger) by Joan Phipson, but that's about birds ...

It's "What Could Go Wrong" by Willo Davis Roberts!!!! Thank you for the responses. I did some more googling and found it on librarything.com
The mystery might have accidentally fallen on the main character. The main character is probably a kid flying alone (age 10-13).
I think the blue bag got switched. The bad guys accidentally grabbed the old lady's bag? I want to say that the main character might have been kidnapped inside the airport by the bad guys.
There also might have been a message/code on a gum wrapper?
I'm also remembering there might have been cash inside one of the blue bags?
Of course it's solved in the end, I loved this book and as a kid I would have liked a resolved happy ending.
I have been wondering about this for years now!! Hope someone can help! Thanks!
