i don't know if oil drums are already double walled but if
not then i propose manufacturing special double walled
oil drums with a volume of perhaps a few litres between
walls where the would be smugglers could store the cocaine.
columbia exports minerals and other goods in oil drums
and they are
shipped by boat. several kilos of cocaine
could presumably be transported in each barrel.

Yes. Much like novelty sex toys, I doubt any of us could come up with something new here. |
|

Besides, why pick on oil drums? Why not post 500 other ideas of the form "insert a hidden compartment in <some mundane form of transportation container>"? Cardboard boxes, wooden shipping crates, canned food, shipping containers, trucks, trains, automobiles, oil pipelines, meat lockers, freezer bags, ... |

If a receiving country could just deport one immigrant for every kilo of drugs inderdicted by customs. |

PeterSealy: They'd come back when they found out there was more drugs where they left. |

Reminds rmutt of a great story from someone who worked at an oceanographic research lab. Apparently one research group needed seawater samples from the Pacific near the Galapagos. Anyway, they would tranship samples through Equador. Some genius realized that a certain alkaloid plant derivative could be dissolved in seawater, and recrystallized in the US, way past any suspicion of clueless customs officers. Apocryphally, the entire research team took an early retirement... |

Good point, but NONE of those things, oil drums included, would work. They're onto EVERYTHING, no exceptions. We have a friend in Peru whose only business is that he ships exotic woods into the U.S., and Customs here held his shipment up for DAYS while they went through his shipment--finding nothing, because he's not into that stuff at all. But I mean, these are PLANKS OF WOOD, with no marks and no holes. No matter. He didn't get his wood for days and days. |

This could be a great way to sneak a large supply of double wall oil drums into the country! When they get done prosecuting the "mules" you can buy the drums cheap at the DEA auction and sell them to oil companies and make a killing. |

I guess that explains why you can't get cocaine in the US any more, then. Oh, wait... |
|
|
Heh heh..yeah, like McCocaine. Or KoKane (with a registered trademark symbol). |

Everyone knows the best way to smuggle cocaine is up your nose. It may make it difficult to sell, but hey if your caught you can outrun any cop on the force |
|
|
ya, befor you pass out and die! it wont work. |
|
|
Has anyone ever thought of growing the cocaine right here in America? Gosh, then we could cut out the boat people and save a buck...bush would totally approve.. |

you stole that idea off James Bond |
