A truckload of methamphetamine disguised as a shipment of watermelons was seized at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing in San Diego, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
The methamphetamine, valued at more than $5 million, was found Aug. 16 when the cargo aboard a tractor-trailer from Mexico was unloaded for a detailed inspection, the agency said in a statement.
Among real watermelons, officers found 1,220 packages wrapped in paper colored to look like watermelon skins.
That was the best they could do? A balloon?
I understand it’s a bit deflated, but my god. I reckon the smugglers could’ve landed at least six figures for a truck sized haul of hard drugs, so surely they could afford a better disguising apparatus than balloons.
Either way good riddance.

The AP is as biased as reality, you stupid fucking robot.
Reality has a left leaning bias
I think whoever came up with that idea was dipping into the product.
You mean in watermelons?
