2 Salt Lake airport workers smuggled meth onto flight

SALT LAKE CITY — Two Salt Lake International Airport workers are facing federal charges for allegedly sneaking illicit drugs past a security checkpoint and onto a flight to Atlanta.


Oswaldo Rosas carried 3 kilograms of crystal methamphetamine in his backpack through a secure employee entrance and into the Delta Sky Lounge around 6:15 a.m. on June 10, according to complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court.


Angel F. Segura later went into the lounge with a black duffel bag and then boarded a flight to Atlanta with the bag about 9:20 a.m. In Atlanta, he delivered the drugs to another person at a motel near the airport, according to court documents.


All was done while law enforcement officials were watching.

I just stumbled across this and thought it was worth sharing. This is ridiculous especially considering TSA's torment to our citizens for "security reasons" and to catch all the so called "terrorists".

Sadly it's likely to just get worse because of this, at least in Utah.

That is a really smart way to catch smugglers.
