Magazines Not Useful for Drug Smuggling Either

A 70-year-old woman was arrested at Washington-Dulles International Airport last week by Customs and Border Patrol agents for attempting to smuggle almost a half pound of good weed from Amsterdam “concealed inside a newspaper wrapped bundle of Der Spiegel magazines.” She supposedly told authorities that the publications were “research material for a book she was writing on Germany,” prompting the Feds to release this DEA-style quip: “On the cover, she looks like any elderly traveler returning from a foreign visit, but that’s why we turn the page and look inside.”
