Quite likely she might only be the carrier and the importer might never be known.
Seems like that Mule will be paying for the benefit of the horses ass. Why not let it pass through, and lead to the other tentacles: thus netting a larger segment of the illicit drugs trade: instead of focusing on the isolated individuals in transit engage for courier services. Bigger fish are there to fry. Use the dangling bate. Or spread the wider net.
OFF TO 1735,YOU COULD GO.WHAT A DAMN SHAME ON YOUR PART.THE LAWS OF THE LAND ARE TO BE RESPECTED BY ALL.NO NONE IS ABOVE THE THOSE LAWS.YOU BREAK THE LAWS,CHANCES ARE YOU COULD END UP IN PRISON.UNLESS,YOU ARE A POLITICIAN.
the lady in herself looks like a bag od drugs.
If the government used drug-sniffing dogs at the airport all of the time, instead of occasionally, then most of the illegal importation of drugs through that location would come to an end.
@Mya. And I bet you look like a constipated chimpanzee.
The bigger question is why not give her a pass/deal and place tracking devices in the stash to catch who she’s been the mule for.
It’s obvious she’s a mule and do not operate a weed shop in Antigua, therefore go the extra investigative route to trap those operating the cartels.
Soooooooooooo the Canadians who scanned the bag could’ve intercepted her there, but it’s OK…..there is always space in 1735!
@Countryman Abroad
Lemme tell you. It’s a running joke that the canine unit only arrives after a certain shipping company gets their cargo. It’s good to have links in customs I guess.
@Mya
