How could people be so stupid to think they'd get through security with this?

74 pounds =$400k ???

Maybe in the cop bookeeping world

def not in real life. At the absolute most 75 pounds its $250k. At the absolute most.

I HIGHLY doubt its that much in the UK (even though it was seized in the UK)

$400K/$250K, who honestly GAF???


I would assume it's worth MORE (probably a lot more) in the UK, given it's not legal there and much harder to obtain (has to be imported). But the article CLEARLY states that it was seized at Logan Airport. Not sure where the heck you are getting that it was seized in the UK?

"The marijuana shipment would have had a street value of $370,000 in the U.K., police said."

My first thought is that she was manipulated into doing it, or didn't know what she had.



Because, as you say, how stupid can you be?

So the two woman were both manipulated?

Surely it wasn't because there was something in it for them..?

Could have been "I'll pay you $5K to deliver this gift to by friend", or even "my sister left this bag here during her last visit, can you bring it to her?". Hard to believe that amount of weed wouldn't smell though, no matter how it was packaged.

right that's often how it when it's being transported by car (so i've heard)...but a plane seems like an entirely different animal. And now all of the pot is basically gone...again just kind stupid whether there was manipulation involved or not.

Well there's obviously a huge market for it, if people are going to these lengths.
