A heavily tattooed American traveller is fighting to be released from jail after she was allegedly busted trying to smuggle a 24-karat gold-plated pistol into Australia in her hand luggage.
Liliana Goodson was arrested on April 23 after Australian Border Force officials claim they found a handgun hidden in her hand luggage when she touched down in Sydney.
An X-ray machine at Sydney Airport allegedly detected the golden gun inside Ms Goodson’s hand luggage after she flew into the country from Los Angeles.
The weapon is a gold-plated Colt 45-style pistol with pearl inlay, which is estimated to be valued at more than $2000. The gun was not loaded.
ABF officials claim the precious pistol is unregistered and Ms Goodson does not have a permit to carry or import a firearm in Australia.

This story reminded me of THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN...
Ms. Goodson could get the maximum jail sentence of 10 years if convicted...She is charged with illegally importing a firearm...
I clicked to the story. Not sure that the person pictured is “a woman”.
Maybe “she” identifies as an aboriginal Australian.
Comedy abounds down under.
The gun is pretty.
Crikey! She’s a whopper!
So the flight was from LA. How did she get it past TSA security? Just asking for a friend.
Trying to slip unnoticed through customs,,, RIGHT!
Oh yes.
Quite the looker.
I bet even her Mother makes her put a bag over her head.
That is some scary-looking stuff!
I watched that yesterday on HBO. My stepfather loved Bond movies. Took me to quite a few. So, I took him to Star Trek: The Voyage Home or Star Trek IV. I loved it and he liked it, too.
This is the first time in forever where I’ve looked and said “Oooooo! I do NOT think Laz would hit it!”
Maybe Laz could hit her with a tattoo remover
Then, there’s that nose thing .... and the piercings .... and all the rest.
The weapon is a gold-plated Colt 45-style pistol
WRONG! It’s a 1911
Post of the day... 👍
I would not be accepting any dinner invitation from her, I might end up BEING dinner!
As an obvious decoration piece one should ask if it even has a firing pin ...
Does she have 3 nipples?
My favorite part of the article is: "ABF Commander Justin Bathurst said the seizure of the prohibited firearm was a win for “Australia’s first and most important line of defence”. “Time and time again, we have seen just how good ABF officers are at targeting and stopping illegal, and highly dangerous, goods from crossing Australia‘s border,” he said."
This is coming to our own country soon, if we keep letting the Democrats cheat us in our elections.
She should be thrown in jail just for looking like that.
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
And a bone in her nose, ho ho...
