If it’s a guy on a plane heading to Australia from Vietnam, as was the case Saturday, the plane turns around, the cops are called in and the man is taken to the hospital. The Reuters story about the incident ominously notes: “Several Australians of Vietnamese descent have been arrested for trafficking heroin to Australia from Vietnam in recent years and at least four were sentenced to death.”

This is the best thing that can happen because the real criminals that sent him must be locked up for life. These syndicates are the untouchables because of government,police and airport authority involvement and protection. THE SO CALLED DECOY(Sacrificial lamb as a senior officer calls them) MULE or COURIER MUST BE DEPORTED BACK TO THE COUNTRY FROM WHERE THEY CAME AS SOON AS THEY ARE ARRESTED AT THE AIRPORT then this DRUG problem will be crippled to a certain extent.DO NOT TELL ME THAT THIS CANNOT BE SUCCESSFUL.
