These people are idiots. They forgot that there is Xray in the immigration counter. Even if they swallow the drug, they could still be detected. There are so many like them trafficking illegal drugs. They better be poor than live in a treacherous wealth. They will have a short happiness and life.

The cause of that is greediness. They like to make a short cut to richness. They do not think of the bad consequences of their action. They might regret now but it is too late.

I guess they really took the for better for worse part seriously. They decided to commit the crime together, so they can do the time together as well.

These people are misguided. They might belong to a broken family. They are only after of the present survival and no more thinking about the future.
