smuggling – Effects of Anxiety

I figured smuggling would be an interesting line of work, but I had no idea just how strange it actually was. It’s difficult enough to get perfectly legal foods across borders, so naturally trying to bring illegal things into a country is even harder. You can’t just slap a fake mustache on a bag of cocaine and tell security it’s your Uncle Pete. (Even if that does sound outlandishly genius.)

If you want to make money off of contraband, you have to be creative. Just take a look at some of the weird examples below–and don’t forget, these are the techniques that didn’t work.

Whoa. That sure is an interesting line of work. Imagine what these people could have done with those creative minds of theirs if they had chosen a career where most retirement parties don’t take place in a prison. This really makes you wonder how people successfully brings these things in!

Where else are you gonna find a bag of eels, really?
