It’s very sad that with all the electronic monitoring and screening that airport authorities have at their disposal, that people would still attempt these stunts. To me it shows a measure of greed and desperation because in most cases they are doing this on behalf of someone for a monetary reward. People have heads but no brains in it.
So is it not airport security who did the search and found the drugs on the person and then notified the narcotics department??
@audley: I am not sure if I would classify this case as a measure of greed or desperation. The estimated value of the items found is under $5,000.00. This appears to be either a test run or just for personal use. It would not make sense to buy an airline ticket and pay someone to carry that amount of drugs for pure business. After the purchase of the ticket, how much would you pay the person to carry it and still make a profit from that 5000.00?
The value of $5000 in Antigua multiplies exponentially once it gets to the US or UK. This happens more often than you think
Narcotics never buss the your lady. Airport security is the one did the buss and handed her over to the airport police. The person who wrote this story should get their story right before publishing it. All props should go to the female officer that pat her down and ask for another search after her suspicious movement during the first pat down. Narcotics didn’t do shit.
