Two Vietnamese flight attendants working for Asiana Airlines, Korea’s second largest carrier, have been detained after trying to smuggle 19 kilograms of gold into the country, the Korea Customs Service (KCS) said Thursday.

According to the KCS Incheon office, the attendants were concealing 1-kilogram-gold bars ― 10 on one and nine on the other ― in their underwear when they arrived at Incheon International Airport on June 5 from Vietnam.

The KCS said this was not their first smuggling attempt, saying it has confirmed that the two succeeded in smuggling 13 kilograms of gold into Korea on three occasions in April.

They will face charges of attempting to smuggle 32 kilograms of gold, worth about 1.5 billion won ($1.33 million), into the country.  [Korea Times]

“Remember this the next time you buy a gold product in South Korea, it may have been sitting in someone’s rectum”

Does that make it worse?

…or better?

This reminds me of my favorite ChickenHead quip of all time:

If these smugglers have found ways to smuggle kilograms of gold passed pre-boarding security screening metal detections, then that’s much more serious than customs violations. It means they could also have been able to smuggle weapons on the flights.

I hope I meet them so I can try my new pickup line.

Just another job BONEHEAD is no longer qualified for. He’d be dropping the bricks down his pants leg before making it down the jetway. Can’t keep a firm grip with those muscles any longer.

Right, Convict?
