WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Twelve people have been charged with smuggling cocaine and heroin from Panama into the U.S. and distributing it to street-level dealers in three states, according to an indictment that federal prosecutors announced on Monday.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Kravetz said the smuggling network involved female couriers who tried to cross the border between Mexico and Texas with packets of uncut cocaine and heroin sewn into Lycra shorts, using a cucumber-aloe mixture to try to thwart drug-sniffing dogs. After several couriers were arrested using that method, the smugglers resorted to sewing packets of drugs into hair weaves and wigs.

These 12 people were determined to NOT be working for the CIA (aka: international bankers) and therefore, they will be STOPPED from participating in the lucrative drug trade.
The drug trade is for the CIA only. Hence, the War on Drugs - to prevent competition.
