haven't heard about JFK, but I heard of many truckers who buy cigarettes in Virginia and sell them in NY for a big profit.

If there's one thing we don't need, it's contraband cigarettes. Good thing the ATF was there to smoke 'em out... ;-)

Smuggling cigarettes is big business. Mafia, terrorists. Happens every day.
Big Mo contract's its shipments to private carriers. Many a driver has walked away from a shipment with a pocketful of cash.
That got stopped, eventually. The security at PM is handled by Wakenhut now.

A cargo plane carrying 150,000 cartons of illegal cigarettes was detained at John F. Kennedy International Airport, authorities said.

Yeah -- these 150,000 cartons of illegal cigarettes pose a much greater danger than 150,000 illegal aliens strolling across the border per day at the Mexican border.

And here I was afraid the Bush Administration didn't have their priorities straight.

Where did the cigarettes come from, another city in the U.S. or from another country?

Bringing cigaretts in from other countries in order to pay less = bad.

Importing prescription drugs from Canada in order to pay less = good.

Typical political bureaucracy / control.
