The story seems shady, no name, no place, no info.

Never heard of the paper.

Did I write the news article myself?
No

Despite missing most info,
the article was interesting nonetheless
as it was a really small bust but didn't mention if:
A: It was spotted by X-rays
B: Somebody tipped-off about the package. Maybe it was the source.

B is scary as fuck.

Cyprus is a looooong ways from home.
Shitty situation to be in, but a part of me is glad to know that this didn't occur here in the states.

But we should not be complacent here even, as something like that CAN happen here. LE can stake out a PO to catch someone picking up a package there (controlled delivery comes to mind).
