Routine X-raying of third world passengers, monitoring for Tuberculosis, is revealing a large number of cocaine swallowers at one very large airport. Average quantity swallowed is 500 grams, and the authorities estimate that to be worth around UKP 32,000 on the street. The going rate is around seven years prison, followed by deportation.

One Caribbean flight accounts for over half of all drugs seized!
