Claim:
1. A transport goods monitoring device having a cover which is configured to cover transport goods received by a transport goods receptacle, comprising: an electrical conductor arrangement comprising a first conductor and a second conductor, wherein the first conductor and the second conductor are integrated into a flexible plastic film shaped into a tube, the electrical conductor arrangement configurable in a first state when the cover is intact, and the electrical conductor arrangement transformable from the first state to a second state when the cover is damaged; and a detector that detects the existence of the second state; wherein the first and the second conductors are insulated from each other by an insulator arrangement in the first state of the electrical conductor arrangement; wherein an electrically conductive connection exists between the first conductor and the second conductor in the second state of the electrical conductor arrangement; and wherein the insulator arrangement includes at least one chamber formed by the tube and filled with an insulation medium in the first state of the electrical conductor arrangement, and is configured to collapse and allow the insulation medium to escape in the event of damage to the at least one chamber, the first and second conductors thereby coming into contact to establish the electrically conductive connection.
