    They will not do it. The ultimate goal is to reach the gold till Mangalore Airport so that it will reach officials hand. In this particular incident what made the officials to search under his seat? How did they get the information?

    I always have a doubt on Mangalore Customs- are they involved in this for percentage or do they real catch someone even after so many incidents. Why would a smuggler do the same mistake which which the other has done and has been cought.
    What happens to this gold and the person who is caught? Or may more gold is passed and some is caught for name and for percentage. Why only Mangalore airport always?

    Almost all airports in India are the same.
    Baggage is Xrayed, and persons are made to walk through metal detectors.
    Even hidden in rectum will be noticed.
