Mexican Bologna Smuggling

(El Paso, Texas) From the Anything-For-A-Buck File comes this story about an enterprising man who tried to smuggle bologna into the United States.

Border agents last week landed a meaty bust, seizing 756 pounds of bologna arranged into the shape of a car seat and covered with blankets in a man's pickup.

"It puts the ultimate consumer at risk," said customs spokesman Roger Maier. "Who knows how long these products have gone without refrigeration or without proper handling?"

Children were sitting on top of the illegal load before it was discovered, Maier said. The rear seat had been removed from the extended-cab pickup and the bologna was put in its place.

Apparently, Mexican bologna is cheap and considerable profit can be realized when it's sold in the US.

I think it's interesting that the US Customs agent's name is Maier. Do you think his supervisor has a sense of humor. If he didn't, he does now. "Hey, Oscar, er, I mean, Roger! Tell us about that big bologna bust again."
