Three Seconds: Interesting Links

[Lis49]

For some reason, I didn't think that it would look so much like a real gun and it is even smaller than I thought it would be.

I don't have the link but if you go to CNN.com they just posted a story about a woman coming in from out of the country to Detriot carrying 91 bags of heroin in her body as a drug mule. Thought it was very interesting in light of our recent discussions here at First Look. There is a picture of the bags that she carried and I must admit they are bigger than I thought they would be.  It is really scary when you think about if they had busted. I believe it was 2 1/2 pounds total. It states she didn't know how much or exactly what she was carrying although she admitted it was drugs. It appears that she was simply a puppet to fulfill the motives of others just as the mules in our book were.

Try the above.  Amazing.  Thanks for the heads up, My Ocean.  I had not heard about this until I saw your story.  (If the above doesn't work, it can take a little searching to find the story.  I finally did it from selecting "more" on U.S. news.)

Thanks so much for finding the link for us.

I knew it would interest those who read the book and then couldn't find the link again after I went back to look for it.

Thanks again!!!
