SAA crew bust with 5kg's of Cocaine... Naughty naughty..

Fifteen SAA crew members are to be questioned after they were arrested at London's Heathrow Airport on Monday when 5kg of cocaine was found in a bag on their flight. (from IOL)

Investigating officers from Customs and the British Revenue Service would question each of them, Gaiger said.

"Then we'll decide whether we're going to charge them or let them go. We're still trying to find out who the bag belongs to."(the bag with no name...)

Of course in order to put a stop to all of this SAA are going to have to start using sniffer dogs on board the flights as opposed to before and after. Highly trained Doberman with handler — only problem being he can’t get into the front where the pilot and co-pilot are sitting … which is where all the drucks are. Which drives the dog insane.

If this carries on much longer an ordinary SAA flight will entail:

Booking flight
Brief counsel
Application for bail in respect of pilot and crew
Flight
Arrest
