We imagine that the day-to-day work of a customs agent at a busy airport can probably get a bit monotonous, but sometimes, we hear about the discovery of some extraordinarily bizarre or hare-brained scheme that smugglers tried to use to smuggle contraband. An imgur user collected a list of some of the weirdest customs finds ever made. Though they didn’t make it, you’ve got to give them a hand for their creativity.
Our readers in the U.S. may immediately associate customs agents with national security or the war on drugs, customs agents around the world also have to deal with the endangered animal black market.

how the heck did they put it in an avocado!?!??!
They opened the avocado, made a guacamole with the inner stuff, put in the cocaine and closed it back, may be with some glue...
I have the same question
same
Cut a spot with s tiny needle, stuff cocain in, mod podge it closed, paint it same color???
I'm more interested in how they got caught... Some of those schemes were brilliant!
(international) airports employ drug dogs that just run around smelling bags (checked bags and carry ons)
GOOD, they shouldn't have to tho, if stupid didn't do stupid!
I´d think someone is in a shitty situation...
