https://www.usnews.com/news/best-states/north-carolina/articles/2018-10-25/soap-believed-to-be-cocaine-lands-dealers-buyer-behind-barsStory: Back around 2003-ish, Louise, Drastic, & I went to see the Vikings. While we were there, Louise bought some handmade decorative soaps to take back to her friends --4 or 5 small bars wrapped in tissue and easy to tuck away in the checked luggage. Bear in mind that this was about the time the TSA was getting scanners and hand "sniffers" to check all luggage. When we got back to the states, Louise
(who steps away from me when we go through TSA lines. Says I intimidate them which makes them go crazy.) had her stuff pulled aside for a deep search. When they put one of those hand-sniffers inside her luggage the damn thing lit up like a christmas tree. Needless to say, we didn't get through customs very quickly that time. ...And we don't buy soaps for gifts when we fly!
