They brought a whole load of "harmless everyday stuff" which looked like "plastic" or "hard leather", and said was in reality drugs plus some "matrix", i.e. glue (probably epoxy or such, I wouldn't know). | |

Commit a murder with a knife, than get a friendly stranger to carry the knife in his suitcase to some faraway place. If the police catch him with the knife, he's now a suspect instead of you. If nobody stops him, the murder weapon is now far far away. Maybe it would be easier to just throw the knife in a dumpster, but cool idea. | |

| Jun 25, 2018 at 4:56 | comment | added | jwenting | @Surb if I were paranoid I'd think OP was deliberately trying to set up someone to take the fall for whatever crime he committed using said knife, and call security on the spot. If you're not paranoid you just follow the rules, consider it might be tainted, and decide to be careful and refuse. | |
| Jun 24, 2018 at 11:33 | comment | added | Damon | @Surb: Without being too paranoid, it might not even be a knife. I've seen briefcases made out of heroin. Who says the knife's grip isn't drugs, or plastic explosive? Or, whatever, radioactive isotopes bound in a plastic matrix, or a container hiding a rizin vial? Or, none of that, and simply a trick to get close to you and have you open your suitcase so the real object can be put in. Or, a way to get within arm reach of your wallet/passport. | |
