Customs officials at Newark, JFK airports seize pounds of cocaine, heroin in separate drug busts | NJ.com: "random check of a Costa Rican woman’s luggage by Customs inspectors at Newark Liberty International Airport on Oct. 30 revealed 30 pounds of cocaine concealed in wooden hangers and saturated into her clothing.
In a separate incident two days later, inspectors at JFK airport arrested two men arriving from Ecuador as they attempted to smuggle more than 16 pounds of heroin in six pairs of pants and five pairs of cargo shorts.
Customs officials said the men's clothing was 'unusually heavy.'
Both of these drug busts followed routine checks of luggage for which U.S. Customs and Border Protection inspectors need no probable cause to conduct, said John Saleh, a spokesman for the federal agency. The cocaine seized at Newark Liberty has a street value of more than $660,000, and the heroin is worth more than $744,000."
