That'll make for a long wait at airport security


Police find suitcases made of cocaine
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTIAGO, Chile — Police say two suitcases carried by a woman who was about to fly from Chile to Spain were made of cocaine.

Detective Leandro Morales at the Santiago airport says the drug “was not hidden in the luggage — this time the suitcases were the drug.”

Morales tells The Associated Press that the suitcases were made of a substance combining cocaine with resin and glass fibre.

He said a “chemical process” could be used to separate out the drug.

The officer says the suitcases were heavier than their contents.

The 26-year-old Argentine woman was arrested.

I'm continuously amazed at the lengths drug guys go to in order to sneak drugs into a country. Each time I find myself saying 'how is that even possible?' It almost makes you think that if these people applied themselves they could be doing really well in a job that's legal. But I'm sure running drugs is a lot more fun. Hell, I'm by the border. Maybe I can cook up a new smuggling idea in my kitchen. I just planned my weekend!
