Who brings a fully cooked chicken on a plane? Someone just wacko enough to prompt further investigation. And the additional inspection turned up — surprise! — $4300 worth of cocaine inside the chicken. So much for secret stuffing.
The stash was detected by Customs and Border Protection agents at Dulles International Airport.

The BBC reports that a Brit was arrested at Rio de Janeiro’s airport when he attempted to smuggle at least 1,000 live spiders (many of them tarantulas) out of Brazil in his luggage. In Brazil, animals are banned from export without permission.
The man, a pet shop owner, was caught when security X-rays detected the spiders in two separate suitcases. (Lesson: animals show up on security X-rays.)
He’s out on bail but faces up to a year in prison and a max fine of $2.3 million.
