Obviously the story below is not typical, nor is it something most of us have to worry about it, but I couldn't help but laugh. Not only did I find the story itself amusing; I also chuckled because none of us would ever eat this chicken. Most of you however, are perfectly willing to eat chicken (and other meat) that has been pumped full of Hormones, Anti-Biotics, and fed Pesticide laden food. I wonder if cocaine was made legal and the meat industry determined they could use it for productivity, if people would be ok with it being used to manufacture meat...
I know I am really making a stretch, but I hope you get my point.

STERLING, Va. - A close inspection by Customs and Border Protection officers at Dulles International Airport turned up something unexpected. Inside a fully-cooked chicken they found cocaine with an estimated street value of $4,300. The 60.4 grams (2.3 ounces) of coke was found inside two small, clear plastic bags inside the chicken's cavity.
Officers discovered the white powdery substance during a secondary inspection after a flight from El Salvador arrived shortly after midnight Saturday. It tested positive for cocaine. "CBP officers have seen many unique narcotics concealment methods, and they all present the same challenges to discover them. Our officers' inspection was very thorough and earned solid results," said Christopher Hess, Customs and Border Protection director for the Port of Washington.
The drugs and traveler, Wagner Mauricio Linares Aragon, 32, of Guatemala, were turned over to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police. Customs also issued a detainer for Linares Aragon.
