    Yeah... fresh off a plane I bet. Funny thing is he could have brought in a kilo legitimately. Maybe he brought in a lot more and there was 400g he couldn't poop out.

    With Indian restrictions on gold imports, maybe there's a market for 1oz gold marbles, if you get where I'm going with this ;)

    There's a reason 1oz gold blobs are called smugglers bars.

    Just try it the day after having a hot vindaloo curry. You'd be crying like a baby. I speak from experience.

    Why would he have not just paid the few extra bucks to buy them in 1/2oz gold bar form?
