From the UK Press Association:
A man from Guatemala is under arrest after US customs inspectors at Dulles International Airport discovered he was carrying a cooked chicken stuffed with cocaine worth more than 4,000 US dollars (£2,404).
Agents decided the fully cooked chicken that 32-year-old Wagner Mauricio Linares Aragon brought with him on a flight from El Salvador warranted closer inspection.
Inside the chicken’s cavity they found two small, clear bags that contained about 60 grams – about 2.3 ounces – of powder cocaine.
Smuggling drugs through aromatic cooked food isn’t actually a terrible idea, but why not go with something really gross and off-putting? A cooked chicken probably just made guys who had been working a long shift hungry.
