New kind of panties to keep you high

There is a new way to smuggle drugs now – it is so ingenuous that it could have come straight out of a movie script. But then we are not talking about reel live here.

In China, a woman has been caught trying to smuggle heroin soaked in panties and long johns – 15 of them in all.

The woman and her drug-soaked undies are now in police custody.

In her trial, the woman claimed that she had been tricked into carrying the drugs in that manner. She was arrested after a tip-off and now faces the death penalty, if convicted.

She might be an innocent victim here, easily used and manipulated by drug traffickers. She claims that the drugs could have been put into her baggage by two men in Kunming who offered her a job and a plane ticket to Shanghai.

But still, could they have planted 15 underpants in her baggage without her knowledge?

My guess is that she had agreed to carry the extra baggage for her benefactors without knowing what was soaked in them.
