  Or just cuz it's money and most people who work in airports are paid like shit. Bills to pay and mouths to feed in a "do what you gotta do" culture lead to unsafe behaviors.
context: I want to know how much these mules get paid.  Shits a dangerous game. >
  
  Not enough to ruin your life over. >
  
  Money is tighter than it has ever been and people are becoming increasingly desperate to make it. A lot of times these mules will be promised that their families will be taken care of if they end up in prison. The article says this has a maximum punishment of 20 years. If this is a first offense for her, with a good lawyer and a tear jerk sob story about needing money she could very easily end up with less than 10 years and get out in 5 for good behavior. >
  
  How would someone even get in contact with the cartel? She must've known them prior to this to trust her with 3 pounds, not sure how much the value is either. >
  
  I once watched a fascinating documentary about a schoolteacher in New Mexico who was diagnosed with cancer and needed to raise money for his treatment. I won't ruin it for everyone, but eventually the cartel did become involved. >
  
  I hope they had a good lawyer >
  
  Of course they did, bitch! >
  
  Considering how often this has happened in the past, I'm surprised they don't have any additional procedures to look for flight attendant mules. >
  
  They have procedures for international flights. They aren't always used but they are a lot more common than domestic flights.
  This was a domestic flight. With a little patience the drug smugglers could have just UPSed the drugs from Dallas to Boston instead. Those packages are not very well checked, especially during the Christmas rush.
  Or just driven them. Then no checks at all. >
  
  Agreed, it's incredibly easy to mail drugs provided you take a few basic precautions. And as you said, provided you got a clean license/title and aren't a complete dumbass, driving works fine. >
  
  I got a sheet of LSD in the mail from Denmark and it was put in a card sleeve with a baseball card in there as well. Then it was put in one of those fancy card plastic seal things. I laughed so hard and gave the guy 5 stars for packaging on the now defunct website I got it on.
  Can you guys stop upvoting this please? My FBI agent has already texted me about it. He doesn’t believe I made it all up. >
  
  I got them in the insert cover for a CD titled 30 best country hits. Listened to the CD and it was literally the worst country I’d ever heard, I laughed so hard >
  
  I bought marijuana seeds from a company in the Netherlands and they did the same exact thing haha >
  
  Mine came in an empty, all-black CD case >
  
  Mine came within a DVD case of the 1982 television series ‘Square Pegs’ portraying SJP as a high-school nerd. >
  
  This thread is a FBI psyop to get people to disclose their drug deliveries >
  
  Well at least it made the ‘Square Pegs’ viewing experience more bearable. >
  
  I mean it's already in the US, the hard part is done, why risk it flying ?! >
  
  It wouldn't be Christmas morning unless you're conked out of your mind >
  
  I mean, that always works for me >
  
  Jackie Brown is back in town. >
  
  Legit just watched this for the first time last night! Pam Grier just energizes the film with her performance >
  
  Robert Forster too, he was awesome >
  
  RIP, loved him in Jackie brown and breaking bad. >
  
  Those crafty cartels are great at convincing people to do dumb shit >
  
  With money on the table, there's usually someone who will take it without thinking through the risks very well.
