Long story short....

HOUSTON - Two U.S. air marshals pleaded guilty Monday to accepting money to smuggle cocaine on a flight to Las Vegas and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
The marshals admitted they accepted $15,000 to use their positions as air marshals to bypass airport security and smuggle 15 pounds of cocaine.
The men face 10 years to life in prison and a maximum fine of $4 million on the smuggling charge, and 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on a bribery charge.

Here's the link to the whole thing....

Just fantastic. Hope people like this would never smuggle anything else if you get my drift.... These people have some very special privileges in getting around security (or so it sounds that way from the article), and I hope they are made an example of.


wow, there sure are a lot of expert economists on this forum....
