(Though I'd have thought most real drug mules would dispose of the concealing supply dispensers before the border stop, and only have the stuff in them at that point.) Unfortunate that you haven't been able to get cleared off the list, though. | |

Add in some laxatives to retrieve the drugs after you cross. The agent was pleasant enough and explained things before I was let through. | |

| Jan 16, 2020 at 20:45 | comment | added | Jacob C. | I suppose medicine could be suspected of being some other substance in disguise, but I'm really struggling to figure out the dental floss angle. Are the cartels known for strangling people with dental floss? Is waxed or unwaxed more suspect? | |
