Yeah I saw that. Very predictable. The one wrt the lass arrested in Dubai
for having legal (in the UK) prescription medecines in her body/urine was
even more fun.

It's the lillywhite technique. The best courier/person up to no good is the
one who does not know it.

The IRA used to use people in the same way to smuggle plastic explosive
etc. into places.

Also various assassinations have been similar (e.g. the PE inside the TV
camera/bunch of flowers held by cute little girl etc.etc.).

Hey at least the lass was only carrying dope & not PE inside her bunch
of flowers.
