Smuggler Busted in Rome with Cocaine Breast and Butt Implants

Well, that's one way to do it:

A stunning model proved to be more than meets the eye after she was arrested by Italian police trying to smuggle more than ?250,000 of cocaine into the country inside breast and buttock implants. The 33-year-old woman, identified only by the initials MFM, was held by officers as she tried to distract them with her plunging neckline and tight-fitting outfit at Rome's Fiumicino airport.

But her plan backfired as they were so captivated by her looks they pulled her over for questioning and discovered the drugs when she failed to explain why she had been to South America.

In much more interesting Italian cocaine news, researchers have started finding concentrations of airborne cocaine (and cannabinoids) in Italian cities. The researchers took air samples from 20 sites in winter and 39 sites in summer in regions across Italy:

... research revealed that atmospheric concentrations of certain drugs were higher wherever drug use was presumed to be more prevalent, eading Cecinato and co-workers to wonder if they had found a better way to estimate the extent of drug abuse in a given area...

Relationships were evaluated to show how strongly two factors correlate when plotted on a graph. When the researchers compared their results against records of drug-related criminal activity, they found that airborne concentrations of cocaine correlated with the amount of drugs seized by police.

Average concentrations of cocaine also correlated strongly with users? requests for detoxification treatment, the team reports in Science of the Total Environment.
