@ 2007/08/31After opening the suspect luggage, registered to the name of four Brazilian "tourists", they found six thousand RAM DIMMs, 2,300 processors (brand not specified), 780 thumb drives, 47 laptop hard drives, 11 flash memory cards, and five digicams.
The airline promised to investigate, as the weight of the passengers' luggage exceeded the maximum allowed. The customs office values the merchandise, contained in ten suitcases and "several handbags". Surely the accomplices of the smugglers awaiting the shipment - and willing to let it pass without verification or tax - must have been very worried when they realised the plane and the passengers never showed up there.
