    Once in a week or once in two weeks people get caught in Bajpe Airport. News spread world wide and still people dare to bring Gold. What does they think of officials in airport. Hats off to the officers handling such situations.

    I think they get enough money for carrying this out. Its not first time at MIA. Looks like tip of the iceberg.
    I feel people are well aware that they could be caught.
    Without powerful hands behind them would they dare this feat?

    Hello Rita,

    You are wrong. Gold is not lost even if seize smuggled gold.
    In most of the cases, after court hearing seized Golds are returned after paying duty charges. That's it.
    If there is severe punishment , then people would not have done these acts again and again.

    There has to be a long practice of some unnatural method to have expanded the particular opening, so that one day the metal can be stuffed in. Its impassible to do it for the first time and set out on a journey.

    One should appreciate these people's dedication and determination.
