So a college student tries to smuggle powder-filled condoms onto an airplane, gets caught, and is jailed for three weeks for drug trafficking. Tests come back identifying the powdery substance as flour. Student sues the local government and settles for $180,000.
Apparently the powder-filled condoms were a joke.
Don't get me wrong - I tend to believe that drugs should be decriminalized.
But $180,000 for holding someone for packing condoms with flour and taking them on a plane? The joke is on the taxpayer - what did this girl think was going to happen, the customs officers would gather around her condoms of flour and bake bread???
