Major Drug Discovery
« on: October 16, 2016, 11:56:07 PM »
I walked into work on Saturday morning at 0500, there were local law enforcement, FBI, TSA ( Homeland Security )  and DEA ( Drug Enforcement Agency ), plus drug sniffing dogs !!!

During routine maintenance on one of our Boeing 737's a mechanic removed a panel in the aft cargo bin and found three duffel bags of cocaine .

Total weight, 38 kilos, about 84 pounds !!! :o :o

Street value around $4-5 million USD .

In the last 60 days, the aircraft  overnighted in the Caribbean islands, Central America and Mexico, 55 times .

Someone is paying a high price for not getting their ' product ' out of the aircraft !!!

This has not been reported to any news media, no mention of it locally or nationally .

Law enforcement thinks that this was an inside job, involving employees !!! >:( >:( >:(

Great, that will do wonders for trust and morale int he workplace. Hope the perpetrators are caught quickly so the honest ones can stop looking over their shoulders.

Along those same lines, the folks I am now working for have a special unit that is trained to target traffickers heading north out of Florida on I95. They currently hold the record for the largest cash seizure on the east coast. Stopped a car and during the search they found $1.2 M stashed inside the spare tire, door panels, etc. Since he couldn't account for where it came from, they gave him a receipt for it and sent him on his way.

How long do you think he lasted when he got back and handed them a receipt.
Keep your bike in good repair: motorcycle boots are not comfortable for walking.

14 employees were arrested in June, 2015, they were baggage handlers and were moving drugs from Houston to Oakland, Ca, just across the bay from San Francisco .

They had been doing this for 8 years before they were caught .
