Drug Smuggling into US - Novel Modus Operandi
THE Drug gangs have hit upon yet a new idea to smuggle drug into the US. The smugglers bribe airport employees in other countries to keep a few kgs of cocaine in a checked in baggage of a passenger headed for US. The bags are marked and once they reach US, they are identified by again bribed airport staff, who will remove the drugs before the bags go for Customs examination.
But there can be a mistake and the contact in the US airport may not spot the baggage and an unsuspecting passenger may become a victim. It seems that two passengers even passed through Customs without getting the drug detected and they found drugs in their baggage after reaching home. But if an innocent passenger is caught, he will be detained, interrogated and may even spend time in jail. And there is simply nothing one can do about it!
