Sleeping in Airports blog

If you are planning to smuggle some drugs through the airport next time you travel, add this to the tactics you probably shouldn’t try.

Apparently a 66-year-old passenger who arrived at Barcelona airport in a wheelchair with a leg cast made entirely of cocaine was arrested on Friday as he tried to get through customs.

The man, flying from Santiago, Chile, also had cocaine stashed in six cans of beer and two folding stools in his luggage, the Interior Ministry said. Police confiscated nearly 5 kilograms (11 pounds) of the drug in total.

Police believe the man, or his accomplices, may have broken the leg on purpose so as not to arouse the suspicions of customs officials. Damn, you have to applaud the guy for trying anyways.  Remember he is 66 years old after all.
