A reminder that the exploding drug crisis in the United States is not being driven solely by drug traffickers on the border but also by average U.S. citizens too:
A Dallas flight attendant pleaded guilty to drug trafficking after she was caught smuggling fentanyltaped to her abdomen at San Diego International Airport.
Terese L White, 41, pleaded guilty in federal court, admitting she abused her privileges as a flight attendant to smuggle the deadly drug through Transportation Security Administration screenings.
The lady thought she could get away with it because she had special prerogatives as an airline worker. But she was wrong:
She attempted to skip a TSA screening using the Known Crewmember line, which speeds up screening for airline crew.
Despite waiting in that line she was selected for regular screening, which was when TSA officers discovered the concealed packages taped to her abdomen.
You can picture this lady's reaction after getting signaled out from the express line:
Give this lady credit, she really tried to worm her way out of it:
She initially told law enforcement that the package was 'not what you think,' claiming it was a weight loss device she received from a colleague.
Ahh, yes, the old "these drugs are a weight control regime!" That's what every competent drug smuggler tells the feds when they bust him with a bunch of pills.
I was watching a movie recently with Danny Glover (I know, he is an abject Leftist) called "Flight of The Intruder" and in it, when discussing what is referred to as the "Phantom Sh***er" (someone who leaves turds in various non-toilet places around the ship) he says to two officers he is convinced are involved in something underhanded or nefarious:
But if I catch either one of you sh**ing in some vital area on my ship, you'll be keelhauled-and that's serious on an aircraft carrier!"
(Your post made me think of it, because as I began to read it, that was where I thought it was going!)
He had no choice if he wanted to keep his job at a hospital
and even a Doctor in private practice risks loosing their license if they prescribe ivermectin or HCQ ... I know many examples of ones that did ....
I was hinting that the airlines could use more speed.
Especially Southwest.
If they survive the DOT investigation.
That’s her? Yikes...she had square miles to hide that Schiff on her.
“I feel we long ago entered the realm where the defendant’s lives are far more meaningful and valued than those whose lives they took, which is a moral travesty.”
Not just murder, but every single crime from rampant shop lifting to catalytic converter theft to assault to intent to kill. The Soros DAs, the people who have created the “no bail” groups, the National Lawyers Guild, antifa, Democrats in general and many more have corrupted justice like we’ve never see before in the USA.
I keep waiting for the pendulum to swing back toward law & order, but the country seems to have an infinite pool of “tolerance” toward the most base and vile crimes imaginable.
Cool! We now have ghosts posting on Freerepublic. Can’t wait to hear from all the oldie but goodie freepers in the future. /sarc
Ha! You can’t get rid of me. The comput4ers up here behind the Pearly Gates are wonderful. No keyboard clatter and, best of all, not a bad auto-kerrex to be found anywhere.
Looks like she could have made even more money selling tickets to her own private “mile high” club.
“The new metric is how many people it can kill versus the weight of the drug.”
Which is not very informative. With anything, the portion is the poison.
Will she talk? Name names? To get a lighter sentence.
So how many times did she smuggle fentanyl before she was caught? Throw the book at her, get her to tell who she was working for.
Democrats doing what they do well—criminals killing their own kind.
But not downers.
Fentanyl is a great anesthetic drug but terrible for abusing.
I agree completely. Rules and laws, constitutionally and legally enacted, are being openly ignored and flaunted.
What makes it most egregiously dangerous, is that it is our very own government, those we entrust with enforcing and observing them, are the ones doing the ignoring and flaunting.
Immigration law is the best example of this. They are openly violating their OWN LAW.
With arrogant impunity.
And daring ANYONE to do anything about it.
Watched “Secret life of Airports “ featuring Atlanta Airport. Everybody gets checked, planes are gone over, drug /bomb dogs everywhere, you just don’t always see them. I am not surprised she got caught.
Agree 100%.... ALL of these drug traffickers are murdering innocent people and they should pay the ultimate price cuz there’s no reason for doing this crap!!
How am i right so often?...
Yeah, especially not downers. LOL
This reminds me of my wife when she left Cuba. She lef t in 1959 successfully then became a flight attendant with Pan-Am and returned to Cuba to ‘visit’ friends but had special privileges because of working for Pan-Am. The government stopped her to do a ‘search’ because she had a book which she did not have when she arrive in Havana. The Communists searched that book for ‘contraband’ but did not find any. She was allowed to leave. She breathed a sigh of relief because she had money, jewelry and other valuables taped to every part of her torso, not only her abdomen! ;-)
