    It doesn't bode well to praise the disgraceful.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    I know that drug smuggling is disgraceful, I was just praising their creativity, not the smugglers themselves (If that made any sense at all).

    Isn't it something like of all the smuggled drugs only 10% are caught? I think that is correct. Appearantly you don't have to be creative to get them across the boarder.

    Given the sheer volume of drugs being smiggled, it stands to reason that most would get by.

    Makes sense. You gotta admire that kind of ingenuity.

    I would agree that most get by but 90% getting by is not really so much "most" as it is just damn near everything getting by.

    The drug trade makes insane amounts of money every year and drug smugglers are extremely skilled. In that business you either get out, get smart, get caught, or get dead.

    I'm sure there is more ingenious schemes that went unheard of because they were ingenious enough to not be found out.

    So Thats why I felt sooo funny after eating that fruit cake....No wait maybe it was all the rum that I put in to the mix.

    But that was very clever, I'm almost ashamed that I didn't think about it for smuggling Anime and Manga into Australia.

    I would smuggle it through in a baby's (dirty) nappy. Smell is masked and if they go anywhere near your child's bits you've got yourself a lawsuit.
