Customs agents have seen all sorts of things come through travelers' baggage. And what they seized from two women at Washington Dulles International Airport last month may take the cake.
On January 29, two women arrived from Mongolia. Customs and Border Protection officers sent them for a routine agriculture examination. What was found inside might turn your stomach.
The women had a combined 42 pounds of horsemeat concealed inside juice boxes. That includes 13 pounds of horse genitals that one of the women claimed were for medicinal purposes.

That’s nuts.
I could make a joke...but I’d probably get banned.
It took a lot of balls to sneak them in...
Her name wouldn’t be Catherine by any chance?
“That includes 13 pounds of horse genitals that one of the women claimed were for medicinal purposes.”
Ahhhh, those Mongolian cowgirls!
Those gals planned on living it up!
“So if horse meat almost got through, what else did get through? “
I can’t recall the formulae, which is from quality control. If a sample of x% of any population has a defect, then you can calculate what percentage of defective product got through. They do catch a huge amount at incoming inspection. If we had that amount we could estimate what got through and I am certain somebody does that in the statistics office. (OMB?)
Given some of the huge drug finds and the relatively low price of street pharmacy, I’d say we catch under 5%.
How long before they started rotting?
I can’t imagine.....
I am no expert in alternative medicine, but deer penis was ingested by the ancient Greeks for sexual issues, and given the wide range of alternative medicines that have been used in China for millennia—of course there it wouldn’t be considered “alternative”—it wouldn’t be surprising that horse penis would be considered helpful in one or more specific medical conditions.
I must say that the last time I went to a Mongolian barbecue restaurant I had a ball!
No, I will not click, no I will not...aaaarrrrrrgggghh!
Sounds like a bunch of poppycock.
Great post
tekrat,
With all respect, could you have held the post at least until my morning coffee and 1/2 bagel got settled.
Be well
That’s not a headline one sees often.
Hey you guys...
Have these words ever been arranged in this order before in the history of the English language?
Did the airport dog alert to the meat?
Or was it just a routine luggage search—push aside the undies and cosmetics, and “WTF is this?”
