    Sometimes I wonder if these people are paid to do stupid shit like this knowing it’ll cause a distraction while the real smuggling operation is going through

      It’s the cost of doing business. You know you will be caught and you know how much they love to make big deals out of it, so… Adapt and overcome

      This makes the most sense to me. I was having trouble understanding the motive / risk-assessment, but this seems plausible. Thanks.
