Lenient airport security plus frequent travel opportunities adds up to opportunity for flight attendants moonlighting as drug mules.
Like the title character of the Quentin Tarantino movie “,” crooked flight attendants find frequent travel plus lax security a tempting combination. Paid off by drug dealers, some of them turn their privilege into a side hustle: acting as convenient mules to move contraband around the United States.
As recounted in the United States District Court complaint, White appeared hesitant to enter the the “advanced imaging technology machine” — the full-body scanner that travelers step into for low-energy X-ray. Once inside, as per the complaint, White began shaking.She had good reason to be nervous. The machine quickly recognized something rigged to her mid-section.
A test of the pack revealed the truth, though: The complaint alleges that White was attempting to smuggle and transport more than three pounds of fentanyl.According to a statement from the United States Attorney’s Office, White pleaded guilty this past December and admitted that she “attempted to use her status as a flight attendant, a position of trust, to facilitate the offense.”
White attempted to get through the crew member line at security but was pulled aside for a random check.What she does know is that fellow flight attendants are ticked off at White because her crime has screwed up a good thing for the rest of them. When flight attendant Reynolds was stopped at a security check point in LAX, she bolted, leaving the 70 pounds of cocaine in her luggage.Somehow, Reynolds reportedly managed to board a flight to New York and, upon landing, hole up in a Hilton Hotel near JFK beforeAccording to the United Sates Department of Justice, Reynolds had been enlisted in her misdeeds by a Jamaican man named Gaston Brown.
