Someone who imports this much poison into this country should get the death penalty.

Ordinarily, muslims get whacked for dealing in drugs (at least in Saudia Arabia, Iran--not in Afghanistan).
You people need to get your heads out of your bodily orifices and stop believing the "all muslims are evil" neocon propoganda BS.

I would think you are barking up the wrong tree.
This seems more like the leftovers from the Clinton Administration getting caught due to increased security at airports.
Now they have a MORAL leader in government, and are not getting protection from the top.
SORRY BOYS, NO MORE BACKDOOR DELIVERIES TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

Someone who imports this much poison into this country should get the death penalty. So let's just increase the budget of the highly successful Drug War. Right? Or perhaps it is a mistake to put the pressure of tens of billions of dollars of contraband on the security system that should be keeping us safe from terrorism.
Have you considered that an airport compromised by contraband smuggling money is many times easier to compromise for other purposes?

a scheme that one top investigator called "a potential threat to homeland security." Ya think? Gee, what would we do without experts to tell us this stuff.
A 10 kiloton Atomic Demolition Munition is about the size of a small trashcan, and weighs about 60 pounds- less than the weight/volume of 30 Kg of cocaine.
In fact, someone joked that you can smuggle any WMD you want to into ths country- just wrap it up and label it "Cocaine".

They also had the possibility of putting C4 on the plane and taking it down. Everyone having access to the planes must go through security every single time.

It's pretty childish to
politicize this !
The smuggling of drugs through major airports has been going on for decades, and has almost always involved a mix of airline staff,airport workers, corrupt customs agents, cops,clergy,doctors, etc., etc.
This was true when we had Republican administrations, and when Democrats ran things.
Let's put things simply: As long as we, the American people crave drugs, someone from some part of the world will step up and supply them to us.
Some Freepers insist the solution is to legalize anything and everything. There have been days when I've thought they might be right.......and there have been days when I've seen how wrong the idea might be.
The real "War on Drugs" is being fought in our hearts and minds;and until we decide as individuals to accept what society decided a long time ago,the war will go on without clear loss or victory.

likely under control of one of the mob families, they have long controlled this type of stuff at JFK.

Some Freepers insist the solution is to legalize anything and everything. Maybe not everything, but eliminating the extremely lucrative black market in cocaine, heroin, and (especially) marijuana by legalizing would go a long way towards eliminating a major source of $$$ that goes to fund terrorism.

Imagine what else they are smuggling in.

A multibillion dollar infrastructure of corrupt officials to facilitate contraband smuggling, or do you want a border you have a chance of controlling? As long as there is demand for cocaine, you can't have both.
