Hollywood Loft: Judge: Does your client plead guilty or not guilty? Lawyer: Not guilty your honor. It wasn’t her hair.

Isabela Bocanegra: I'm from Colombia and I feel beyond embarrassed with this. I want to live outside the narrative of a drug trafficking country. This is sad and upsetting

Kelly Ann: They thought body scanners didn't scan heads or what?!

AfroCuban4life: Thanks a lot "ladies." People like you make it harder for the rest of us.. holding up the line even more SMH

Tanya Wilson: There is nothing in the world worth risking your freedom outside of protecting yourself or your family.

EverlastingPain: Defense lawyer: "My clients did nothing wrong. They innocently had their hair done before their vacation, like many women do... Now, these inocent women had no idea that asking for a BLOW dry... this was what they were going to get."

Warriors Dynasty Part 2: You might get passed once or twice but eventually they gonna catch you. Criminal life isn’t that cool just work hard and legitimately for what you want life is better that way.

Zero Reacts : The crazy thing is nothing is gonna happen to the person that gave her the stuff but she is gonna spend probably 10 to 15 years in prison for this :( crazy

TheReaperOfSouls: No one can beat the final boss that is airport security.

DIDN’T ASK PLUS YOU’RE A FEMALE 🗿: they literally made me go naked dude… and in front of people just for nothing, they deserve being treated like this way it’s unfair

fanbutton: They literally gave the phrase, "CokeHead", a whole new meaning.

Laura Martinez: I always joke around about how stuff gets lost in my curly hair.

Astral Flux: This is a dark day for all women’s hair… they’re gonna start ripping our hair out at the airport now ‍♀️

MissKlassiKiya: UNBEWEAVABLE!! Lol My little sister is a TSA agent and the stories she tells me lol I’m not shocked by this one lol

Layfon Al: You gotta admit that’s some amazing hiding spot for drugs if not for the scanning device.

Cherif Aidara: How did they not think detectors were going to catch them?

HeartAndSeoul: They really thought they could make it past I have insanely thick hair and they legit thought my hair tied up was hiding something and they fingered my ponytail to find nothing. And you really think they’re not going to investigate random objects in your hair?

The Unknown: Imagine if a Highly Trained Dog was there. That Dog would literally rip her hair out.

shammy keyz: I went through TSA once and the scanner alarm beeped and showed my hair in red, I had a good chuckle while the guy massaged my scalp and felt my head, felt good for the 15 seconds it lasted.

Loui Thonethao: I had a ponytail clip on, TSA mad me take it off, so embarrassing.

FortniteFan: Everyone: “That was the worst way you could’ve got caught!” Me: “Of course they were bound for Spain.”

4daluvofnikki: This was not clever at all. Have they never been through airport security before? You have to go through body scanners now at most airports. Why did they think those big capsules would go unnoticed in their weaves? Some airports even have drug sniffing dogs. I don't understand how they thought no one would notice it? Good grief.

Julliette Barton: The love of money, is the root of all evil

25BEDFORD: Truth be told, they caught two but there were probably thirty or more that made it through. The smuggling game is like business in that you plan to lose money knowing your profits will be much higher.

V I: I wish people wouldn't take these risks, its not worth the jail time.

ApeYou Tube: Can we just acknowledge that the real story here is the hairdresser? That is serious skill and talent to not even get a single mention in this story.

Shakila Nandlal: Smart abservation and smart Technology can't let pass criminals no matter, how much genius idea is. Well-done Colombia government.

Juan Espino: “That’s why her hair is so big, it’s full of secrets”

Georgia Andrea: If this is done in my country, it’s death penalty to these gals.. you don’t wanna try this if you value your damn life.

****************: As a black women I have experienced while travelling with company friends being told to take of their wigs so they can be searched as result, I always travel with my hair sleeked back or in box braids. This is just annoying

Sheimell Wells: The crazy things people go through to smuggle drugs is ridiculous

Elaine Royal: And I would actually act like I was shocked and appalled as to how it got there in my head like that! "OMG, I knew I should have read those reviews on Yelp before I let that new stylist do my hair but I was trying to give her chance. I can't believe this girl put this damn cocaine in my head like this!"

WE THE ONES BLOOD 🩸 LINE ☝️: Imagine HOW Much they got away with they where passing DRUGS FOR YEARS .!

MnM: Never saw that coming! I’m glad they’re busted. No more drugs for our youth.

Chelsie Fetherman: I did this with heroin when I was an addict, but only enough for personal use. And didn’t use tubes I made it blend in better with my hair extensions, I had tape ins and place two bags between each tape in so it would look normal if scanned.

Louis Torres: They caught the two most obvious wth 2 kilos and were so distracted, they missed the other 15 with less obvious extensions and 8 kilos.

Krystal: Do people not understand how those machines work lol

Kayla Rose: Come on now y’all did her SO WRONG with those extensions

25BEDFORD: My co-worker gets hair checked by TSA every time she goes because she has dreads. Has been checked for years.

Mary Jane Cornielle: Well, that’s a new method of hiding drugs! I did see one where a man was carrying 2 kilos of cocaine under his toupee.

uNkNoWn GuRLy GiRl: See, these scumbags ruin things for everyone. Now innocent women with wigs will be looked at differently now?? It reminds me of when I worked in a grocery store, people weren’t allowed to roam around carrying a backpack. They had to remove it and leave it at the front of store or put it back in their car, if they refused then they weren’t allowed in the store all because we have had people steal by putting items in the backpack and walking out with it. Scumbags ruin it for the innocent people.

Sweet Toko: Boyfriend: "Damn your hair smells real good...really good actually" *collapses*

Alice: For some reason, I feel as if the woman, who had a “bullet” of cocaine extracted from her wig has been threatened and possibly abused- hence, her amputated fingers on her right hand.

Inemesit Ukpong: If I were in the biz, I'd give up. If they could figure where this lady hid this .... Damn!

CraiiZeD: The TSA always puts their hands in my hair bun when I’m going through security like ugh this is why we cant have nice things stop ruining my hair

Salty Walt: That’s a charge I wouldn’t want these people so quick to throw their life away for some money

Helena: I smoked up once with an airport border security agent, while living in China (a bit nerve wracking, honestly. She was a new friend). She told me, they’re trained to look at people’s eyes…and can often tell from that alone that someone is smuggling illicit substances. No way I’d ever have the guts to pull something like that off!

Miss_ 1981: Speechless...them packages were lined up like bullets lmfao. The look on her face was like...no point even protesting

Alberto Martins: These people really need to give up on smuggling cocaine through airports, sure some do manage to slip through but that’s like the minority and often not even 1 kilo of cocaine per person.

Badass Beaver: Well this takes drug smuggling to a whole new level lol

Systematix -: All that effort and risk to smuggle a petty amount of drugs ? Wow

jokes on you: My skin started crawling when she revealed more.

Ymg’s Speedy: Brings a new definition to the phrase “coke head”

Kendra Cosey: This is why they’re always checking my weave when I go through security!

youngaks: This has been going on for years until now.

JourneyMan Smitty: Well you got to admitted it's actually kind of smart of them

LUMEN: I guess you could say their hairstyles were dope!

Michael MyYears: The one that had me surprise was when they mold it to the luggage shape within the hard back case and inside the aluminum handles and wheels! I really how people will continue to come up with new way to deliver product

Matt McCullough: That is a smart way to smuggle drugs I've never even thought of that.

L: Can’t even smuggle your party into the country

Wynn: In the movie “goodfellas” they talked about putting diamonds in women’s hair and getting through airport security in the 70s, based on a true story.

WorkCanWait: For every one of these people that gets caught. There was 9 that made it through with no problems.

noth: “Excuse me ma’am did you do your own hair this morning?” Gives new meaning to “coke head”…

Not a gamer: Just when you think you have heard it all, this was actually really clever!

luimaz20: If this isn’t one of the most dumbest yet smartest ways a person has smuggled cocaine then I don’t know what it is to you!

MEGIDIOT: This wouldn’t have been found in a first world airport since it’s so unexpected

All Things Iro: I remember returning from my trip in Colombia and all my coffee was emptied out into plastic bags. It made for a less presentable gift for friends. It seems they will open & check everything!!

Jose Venegas: Those two got caught as distractions while the other real smugglers all passed through

Dean Danielson: This is genius idea I would have never thought of this at all

Nat Peterson: Oh thank heavens. Now I can sleep soundly knowing the world is safe.

Nyankana: How exactly is this a genius idea as some people claimed? All the airports I went to, they have machine that scans the entire body, so any foreign objects would be instantly shown on their computers

Cup cake Patrice: I would’ve run ‍♀️ I would’ve said hold on I forgot my other bag

Br Quaz: I would never get caught, what a let down

F. P.: This makes me itch, looks like locusts in her hair

janelbbuck: I mean it’s an interesting idea but pretty easy to discover with the help of a scanner.

Frenchy23: I'm quite sure this isnt the first time someone has attempted this many probably have and got away with it you can't catch everything

Kathy H: Amazing !!! I only wish they would catch more of these drug pushers!!!

Anek Majak: Oh God, that's crazy

Alex Kelly: This is why they make me pull my braids up going through security. Thanks a lot ladies…

Dena Pratt: Takes being a "coke head" to a whole new level.

Summer Avena Night: Sometimes I just thank god for my simple life!

Mike Jones: Part of me wishes it was fentanyl they tried smuggling and had seen what would’ve happened to them then.

AJ: Damn, those cops can solve anything

Biggest Menace To Society: It’s crazy that these ladies will probably do the same time or even longer in prison as someone who has committed MURDER

Hot Sauce In Her Rose: 0:37 she was contemplating to run, you can see it in her eyes

Surfergrl72Roxy: I bought the hair from a shop on my way to the airport officer. Okay can you tell me where Mam, I'm not sure. Well do you have the receipt for your purchase, uhh No they didn't give me one. Says every drug runner from suitcases to now wigs. Clink clink your guilty, enjoy that foreign prison.

Jennifer Coleman: My god I'm glad they found it

Leonorah Kwamboka: The enemy is poverty

Peaches Jeter: If I was her I would have been like how that get there.

Your Average Troll: Meanwhile the 5 ton shipment that was actually intended to make it made it by, while security is dealing with this insignificant amount lmao

A Jeter: This isn’t new, packaging methods have been around for a long time, glad someone is catching on.

SG: Could they be so obvious though. Look how big their hair is? , look how she is dressed- they made it very very obvious.

tommygirl123able: I’m really shocked that they thought that would work lol. I typically always have braids in my hair when I travel, and my hair gets checked every time.

Jake Hart: It wasn’t smart at all. Yes that’s a great place to hide things but you do your research first and if she would’ve she would’ve known that it would still show up on the scan no matter how well she hid it from humans

Yaaa Rightt41: Moment of silence for the ones who think a drug smuggler will only send 2 kilos , there’s either more woman with the exact same hair or these woman were meant to be caught as a distraction from the 40 pounds some fat guy has stuffed in his stomach

Eva Rodriguez Alequin: Omg this is something else. I can never think of something like this.
