sounds to me that the billions the us is spending in columbia is wasted. somebody not doing their job in bogata

Yes, it is true....even a blind squirrel (DNCD) can find a nut every now and then. It is a good think the Columbians abandoned the suit cases thus making it easy for DNCD to identify and search unclaimed baggage. God forbid if RD police & DNCD had to do some real police work and do an honest bust. Oftentimes, these drugs are recycle (not destroyed) and end up in the local drug pipeline. These found drugs are a tip of the iceberg and likely a decoy distraction to keep officials away from the bigger shipment. A % yield loss is all apart of the Game!

The greed of the RD Gov officials has caused them to compromise with criminals and look the other way at crime....Now criminals have more solid contacts inside the RD and have been allowed to grow more powerful while RD law enforcement is fat, dumb and happy and sleeping behind the wheel. When the criminals are more powerful than police & DNCD who will control the streets (i.e. Santo Domingo bloodbath next?)

How is this crap getting out of South America so easy?

is their no security in bogata

So, good golly, pass them along.

For the last few years, Venezuela has become a MAJOR transhipment point of drugs out of S. America. Chavez kicked out all of the DEA folks about 5 years ago and also refused any aid from the US to fight drugs as well. He has in the last month or so began to change his tune because of the murder rate in his own country is skyrocketing. You can bet that his government is sponsoring this activity.

For the most part you can't get on a flight with a tube of toothpaste thats more then 3 onces.

So how do 95 kilos get past the originating airport security, Good thing it is just coke and not C4 or some other hazardous material. I am getting a little tired of hearing how all this is the fault of US consumers or regular citizens of any other country. Or lets blame the early scientists and Sigmund Freud for exploiting Coke
I am convinced this is all the fault of dirty cops and greedy politicians. .

I thought I would look up coke find out why everyone is so crazy about it and all this fuss..
It doesn't seem as bad as everyone says so regulate it and sell it in small dosis.

Just legalize it and be done with all the madness and lets work on curing aids and cancer and world hunger, this is a waste of time let people do what they want with with their bodies and minds.

here you go.

good job .. catch more ..

the truth is that is was 100 and 5 ended up at the hands of some corrupt individual...these packages are rare oddly packaged...these are the bedtime stories that our government shoves down our throat to keep us dazed at the awesome job that these numbskulls are doing...next time guys put the material in red and yellow suitcases and just hand it an "official" at the DNCD.

Jander the problem is that this drug combined with alcohol is a very scary mix and alcohol is already responsible for huge statistical blips in every area of violent crime and driving accidents .....there is no moderation when you combine these two killers....the question ....Is prohibition worse ?

I dont understand what venezuela has to do with this error on the part of the traffickers. This isn't a bust rather a "regalo" from the people that were terrified to pick up the suitcase. What about looking at the name on the tags and see to whom it was registered to. Getting at Chavez for kicking the DEA out makes no difference that much. It is sad that DR is being run by cartels with a license to do as they please. There was probably 70 more kilos that got out that day. USA is spending money on something that needs to be legalised and tax. If people what to die as when smoking let them do so..as long they know the high risk. This is some low level stuff..organize thought out suppliers don't use suitcases.

this was just a to show that they are doing something.... must of the big drugs comes from planes boats and subs ...yes they use subs nowadays
