what do you mean, belly? The thing was a puffed up bundle in a PLASTIC, DIAPHANOUS BAG, ready for all to see. The zip holding it was broken! Now, if you had packed it would you not at least make sure there's some security in that very spot? That so called customs officer with the grin who said, "she said, 'no, I have some'" seemed to me that he was trying to protect his own skin from his comrade corrupt customs officers.
That plastic bag was immediately manhandled that much that you could see that they were trying to wipe off their OWN fingerprints. Had they taken fingerprints, however, they could have seen whether or not Scharpelle's were on that plastic bag. But they refused to do so. Tell me that this is how we'd behave in Australia and that a behaviour like that would let such a case dropped within seconds. The DPP wouldn't allow it to proceed.
