A man was caught trying to smuggle 800 pounds of bologna across the border from Mexico to sell at a swap meet in Albuquerque. Apparently, he had stashed the meat under his clothing and in his suitcases. From CNN:
Customs Commissioner Robert Bonner called the discovery a sign of successful efforts to "coordinate inspection and enforcement on everything from illegal drugs and illegal aliens to prohibited agricultural products."
It was unclear what happened to the suspect, who officials did not identify.
He stood to make a hefty profit, the (Department of Homeland Security) statement said. "The processed bologna rolls, which cost about $7 or $8 in Mexico, can bring three or four times that price in the United States," the statement read.
