Smuggling

[tomone]

I dont think this is being discussed anywhere else, and wanted to inform everyone of a nice 'investment'. Let me get this straight, i haven't done this and never will which is why i am telling everyone about it...

this price for a gram of coke in my area (London UK) is £30 - £40. The price of a gram of coke in australia is $250 - $300. I dont know what the currency difference is but i know its a big step up, especially when you could buy 28 grams for £600 (maybe even bash it up and double it once your in australia) then shot the coke. I know its not a fool proof plan (not even a plan at all just an idea which YOU need to work on) but im not guna plan something out im never intending on doing.

I have brought back knuckle dusters and telescopic police truncheons back from the USA before (after 9 11) and a friend of mine managed to do the same (after 9 11 but not traveling from the USA) and was wondering if anyone else has any experience with bringing back weapons in a suit case.


I also wanna know if anyone has ideas of bringing weed back from amdam. Iv heard people put a few bags in a porn dvd and jus send them home and its worked, but maybe some one can advise me on this?

First off, there is already a smuggling thread - labelled "The Smuggling Thread".

On the other hand, you're asking specifically about international smuggling of small items. Whether or not that's a different subject is for the mods to decide.

There's no sense bringing them back in a suitcase. Buy what you want in the US and mail it to yourself. There's no reason to bother trying to smuggle it through a airport security when you can circumvent the airport all together.

Why one would use a porn dvd is beyond me - it provides no air seal and it offers no additional protection.

If you're going to ship it, you'll need:
A vacuum sealer
The appropriate bags
Oregano or other spices

Place your contraban in the bags and seal them off.
You'll need to make twice as many identical bags containing oregano or another spice.
Wash all of the bags in a sink full of soap and water to remove the scent from the outside of the bags.
Dry the bags and pack them in a box.
Now ship 'em home.

The oregano is just a buffer - if someone feels the need to check your package, and open one of the bags, he'll find legitimate oregano.

Firstly i apologize for making one where another already exists (does it really matter? there is about 4 skimmer threads)

About the knuckle dusters and truncheons, keeping them in your suit case has always seemed the best way to me. My friends house got raided when he tried to send such weapons to his address.

And about the weed, this is not me saying 'this is how you do it' its a way iv heard of working. The porn DVD being sent back is a common thing for tourists in amsterdam because they are shy about it being in their suit case (this again is only what if heard). But your idea does sound like a much more ideal way of doing it. Another one of my friends claimed (i dont know wether to believe him or not) he left a couple of grams in his trouser pocket and found it a few days after he got back to england. I wonder what customs would say if you said you were too lean to remember it was there...

It's avoided on principle. The mods come around every now and again and delete duplicate threads - we use to have ALOT more skimmer threads.

Knuckle dusters are considered weapons, as are expanding batons. If they're found in your suitcase, you will have some serious explaining to do. Popsession of weapons in an airport and attempts to smuggle them onto an aircraft is almost all they need to put you in jail - if nothing else, for the smuggling charge.

As for his house being raided - he should have been smart enough to ship them to a drop address.

Okay, that might work one in a million times. If they had a reason to open your package, they aren't going to give a rat's behind about opening the case to a porn DVD.

That's feesable, assumeing there where no drug dogs at the airport. Coke wouldn't set-off any detectors, so there's no reason it "couldn't" have happened.

I don't think the two are truely the same subject.
This one is about smuggling items and equipment through airports and the other is specifically about smuggling drugs.

[Steve_TPF]

Smuggling is smuggling. The only essential difference is that drugs smell.

Drugs smell
Batons are metal

The two have totally different detection concerns.

[Steve_TPF]

There is no reason both can't be discussed in the same thread. I'm just tired of people starting new ones without checking.

I understand your point, but smuggling weapons and smuggling drugs are two completely different animals.
Considering the two as the same is like saying hiding things from drug dogs is the same as evading a tracking dog.

I'm happy to leave it to Random or Headcase to decide.

Until a mod works this out, I'll just keep it going.

I was curious as to how mexican cartels smuggle drugs? They can fly it over, sail it over, drive/run/whatever. So how do they do it would be a good spot to look at first if you ever needed to smuggle something (not to say you will be smuggling pounds of coke over). Obviously a person might have a couple grams of weed or something, which isn't bad, but still illegal.

Do mexican carriers just completely avoid the police/patrol, or do they hide it really well so nothing is found when they check?

[tomone]

There are loads of ways they do it. The biggest drug dealer in the world Pablo Eskibar (probably spelt it wrong) had submarines that took his coke to america. They might use high performance speed boats to get it across seas, or plane where they drop it out the plane were you can pick it up. Iv heard of people cutting open dogs to put coke inside them.

While smuggling drugs and weapons are different animals, you're discussing drugs in both. Use the search engine.
