I wonder if the "random passenger" is one of his buddies.

If I found it in my bag, I’d simply drop it in the trash and tell no one.

To many ways for it to go wrong if you turn it in.

Well, more clever schemes have been used for drug smuggling...remember the sting that caught the ring of military smugglers that were using the coffins of dead soldiers being returned from Viet Nam?? That was classic. The Japanese are quite rigid about such practices...this guy does not sound like a big time operator :-)

On what planet is 5 ounces of pot worth $10,000? Even the most exagerated claims of street value following big busts that I’ve seen never managed to set the value of pot at $2,000/ounce - not even the best genetically-modifed, hydroponically grown stuff.

Nope officer but if I hear anything I'll be sure to call.

Hope it's not legal to put drugs in unsuspecting passengers luggage here - good grief, even if the person manages to get out or the airport or connecting flights without getting pinched and serve jail time, etc. - and find the drug and destroy it or turn it in - their bag will forever get a hit from a well trained dog...

"If by some chance passengers find it in their suitcase, we’re asking them to return it."

Oh yes, please return our marijuana and while you're putting your head in the noose, would you mind pulling it tight about your neck?

We would be ever so grateful before dropping the trap door beneath your feet...

Only a stone fool would ever admit to knowing anything about this. The marijuana needs to disappear down a garbage chute and the victim of criminal incompetence needs to start checking his bags for tampering from now on.

[do not press 2 for spanish]

$10,000 for “five ounces” = $2,000/ oz.

*Wowie zowie”, is al I can say.

Never heard of anything in that price range before. Must be some “killer sh!t”...

DUDE ! !

Reroute the plane through Newark. That stash will be scoped out, cleaned out and out the back door in a heartbeat.
