JFK Drug Smuggling Ring
You don’t need to ask the question “How do they get away with stuff like this?”
The 18 or more people who were arrested in a sting operation did not get away with it in the end. I have to wonder about what kind of big ‘holes’ exist in overall airport security for these guys to think that they can carry out this kind of operation.
Back when I was a blue collar plant worker, I had a coworker who had recently been convicted of defrauding video gaming machines. He had a fantastic story about having had a conversation in the courthouse hallway with some other ’scheduled to appear’ dudes. He told them in detail what he had done. Weeks later he saw in the papers that they had been caught in an attempt to replicate his crime. Shouldn’t they have given more consideration to the fact that he had been caught?
Hopefully the drug trafficker who was able to convince all these New York guys that they wouldn’t get caught is sharing a cell with them.
