I can hardly swallow those big vitamins.   How he do that?   And 1 oops your dead?  No body x-ray machines at all departure airports?  Could have been C4.   Guy is going to regret this idea.   Must have been desperate.   Wonder why he was acting funny.   Looking for a head with urgency?  

[brianthainess]

Must have taken big guts to bring that amount in. ????

Extreme poverty sometimes makes people resort to extreme measures!

It is extremely easy for those living 'comfortable' lives to put others in less fortunate positions down.
