U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Officers Seize 2 lbs. of Cocaine in Fried Fish at Miami International Airport
That which you see above are four (4) fried fish which had been discovered being carried in the luggage of a passenger who had traveled from Jamaica to Miami on Saturday, June 13th, 2015. During an x-ray exam of her luggage CBP Officers noticed “anomalies” in some of the cooked fish. Further examination revealed that the bellies of some of the fish had been sewn together and that some of the fish “felt thicker” than the rest. It was not long before 2.3 pounds of cocaine were removed from the stitched-together fried fish.
Per their official website (which you can link to here), CBP (or Customs and Border Protection) is responsible for border security at points of entry into the US. Their primary mission is anti-terrorism but they also do drug interdiction. In 2014 at all US border crossings CBP reportedly seized more than 3.8 million lbs of narcotics.
Memo to the Folks: No matter how creative you think you are A) at the border you have no virtually rights, always being subject to warrantless search and seizure and B) law enforcement is generally, although not always, a few steps ahead. These folks thought that they were clever, and then they went to federal prison too….
Welcome to the USA. Enjoy your stay. I suggest Club Med, not Club Fed….
