Some of you have been reading The Forensic Examiner's article series on "Drug Smuggling Behavior: A Developmental Smuggling Model".For those of you who haven't, it's practically a How-To to setup your own smuggling enterprise. Thank-you academia. kmfkewm and QTC have posted some links to it on here.Anyway, a particular paragraph caught my attention:Quote"Studying the packaging of contraband will assist in the classification of the smuggling organization. An example is that a smuggling organization transporting explosives or illegal drugs may use a vender who "heat treats" or moves the oxygen from the package. Thus, the package tells the observer how far away, in hours, the smuggling organization is, as the package vender must take into account the amount of time necessary for the molecules of the contraband to permeate the plastic in which it is wrapped."Now, I think we all knew that eventually drug residues will get through the plastic, but who knew that it was possible to measure this degradation in hours? That isolates your time zone rather neatly, which is unpleasant. I think we all prefer a global footprint to a local one.Thoughts? Ideas?
