Agents find Coke in Coke can...(DUH!)

[Taz_bb2]

PHILADELPHIA - Border patrol agents found close to 400 grams of cocaine disguised as a Coca-Cola aboard a plane headed for the United States.

The cans were filled with the white powdery stuff that was discovered on the US Airways flight from Jamaica to Philadelphia Halloween night.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say this soda can smuggling approach is a new technique many of them hadn't seen before.

The confiscated narcotic will be destroyed.

No one has been arrested in connection with the discovery.

CBP officers routinely conduct random inspections of international flights that arrive from all over the world, searching for narcotics, unreported currency, or other prohibited items.

When are the media people going to figure out that Border Patrol Agents don't check flights?

last I checked US Border patrol has no stations in the PHILADELPHIA area. Had to be CBPO's, nice catch.

Don't be too hard on Philly. This type of stuff is found at every international airport. So it's not like Philly is special. ;)

New CBPO's? When I worked in the Southwest, everything and anything big enough to hold dope was suspect.
