Hey squirrelgirl-hope all is well- WOW!!!- Now that is a first for me- I don't know how I missed that one except that I don't have time to check all the forums every visit- but that definately sounds like a "trainwreck"- but there you go- with that amount I'm sure the customs office in D.C. perceived that as the old term of "smuggling" and probably "with intent to distribute"- poor woman- no matter what her motives were I feel sorry for her! Yea- it sounds like the state of Alabama was about one step away from calling in the Army Rangers!(poor attempt at humor over a sad story)- but it does sound a little like "overkill"- I wander sometimes if these small deep South towns and community law enforcement agencies get so hyped up in the drama of a big story that they can't help but go overboard- especially when the media puts their spin on it but- just my old penny's worth of speculation- glad you brought that back up- unbelievable!- must have been out of town then or something....Later, samkat73
