A reminder that the exploding drug crisis in the United States is not being driven solely by drug traffickers on the border but also by average U.S. citizens too:

A Dallas flight attendant pleaded guilty to drug trafficking after she was caught smuggling fentanyl taped to her abdomen at San Diego International Airport.

Terese L White, 41, pleaded guilty in federal court, admitting she abused her privileges as a flight attendant to smuggle the deadly drug through Transportation Security Administration screenings.

The lady thought she could get away with it because she had special prerogatives as an airline worker. But she was wrong:

She attempted to skip a TSA screening using the Known Crewmember line, which speeds up screening for airline crew.

Despite waiting in that line she was selected for regular screening, which was when TSA officers discovered the concealed packages taped to her abdomen.

You can picture this lady's reaction after getting signaled out from the express line:

She was ultimately found with three pounds of the drug on her, enough to kill nearly 650,000 people. Give this lady credit, she really tried to worm her way out of it:

She initially told law enforcement that the package was 'not what you think,' claiming it was a weight loss device she received from a colleague.

Ahh, yes, the old "these drugs are a weight control regime!" That's what every competent drug smuggler tells the feds when they bust him with a bunch of pills.
