But, but... they don't look guilty.

Three striking sisters, women in their 20s from the Mexican metropolis of Monterrey, were riding in the back of a late-model minivan with friends toward the shopping malls of Houston, when a Laredo customs agent noticed something out of place.
The driver of the white 2005 Chrysler Voyager with Nuevo Leon plates, a 42-year-old hairdresser, seemed a bit too nervous for a northbound shopper at the No. 2 International bridge. And inspectors noticed that the women appeared overly voluptuous, particularly in the bust, thighs and bottom.
All five were ordered out and patted down, where — under layers of fashionable clothing — each wore five to seven pounds of cocaine bricks with a total street value of nearly $1 million. The sister smugglers and their friends recently were sentenced to serve up to 74 months in federal prison here.
All were first-time offenders but part of a growing wave of “mulas,” female smugglers who bring unique characteristics and techniques to the border drug trade. Notably, they can hide drug shipments between breasts, stuffed in brassieres, wigs and in other distinctively feminine clothing, in faked pregnancies or even surgically implanted in the buttocks, according to government agents and a 2008 study of women smugglers by an El Paso professor.

Hmmm..., it’s a shame that the “south-of-the-border” cultural mentality produces criminals out of such good looking women. But, that’s the mentality that exists south of the border, unfortunately, which many in government seem very inclined to “import” here in this country by opening up the borders...
I know what you’re saying.
I just think the 74 months is unreasonable. A brisk spanking should suffice.
They weren’t smuggling melons were they
Well, we know who will be receiving a lot of strip searches.
Brisk? I was thinking slow and deliberate.
Conclusion? All beautiful, well-endowed women coming from Mexico must be thoroughly searched. It’s a thankless job but one I’m willing to move to Texas to do.
You, sir, are a true patriot.
We’ll let ya’ know if we need any help, but I think we can “handle” it.
(These women are clearly NOT GUILTY until proven innocent.)
“All five were ordered out and patted down”
Border guard highlight of the day.
Bumping!
Da$n carpet bagger! We’ll get along fine.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along, move along...
Hot but guilty.... What a waste of talent
Without breasts there is no paradise
So true, but, looks can be *shock!* deceiving!
Applied once a day for 74 months.
