Three women were arrested at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport with more than $3 million of heroin and opium in their luggage, and were due to appear in court for a bond hearing on Wednesday, police said.
The three — Pa Yang, 57, Mai Vue Vang, 58, True Thao, 52, all from Minnesota — had arrived on Tuesday on a flight from Japan, the Chicago Police Department said in a statement.
The women’s luggage contained 70 pounds (32 kg) of heroin and opium in numerous packets, police said.
The women face felony drug charges, they added.

Looking at their photos it appears to me that they are themselves users.

How did they get through Japanese security?
Must have been an inside job gone wrong.
Are those Vietnamese names, or Chinese, or Lao?

In Chinese culture it’s ok to break any law as long as you don’t get caught.

Asians in Minnesota are more than likely married/widowed from G.I.s (a guess) and perhaps money is tighter than what they'd like .... sooooo ...

This was a flight through Japan, so no inspection of through luggage. Likely originated in SE Asia, then via Hong Kong, Singapore, or Bangkok to Japan and then the US.
