#1 Reminds me of the Houston construction guy who was effectively held captive by Saudis out in the sticks - and shipped himself out of SA to Amsterdam to escape. The key, of course, is to pick a flight in which the cargo space is pressurized, else you're delivering a slab of frozen dumbass. This twit, with the outstanding warrants, may have opened some eyes at his own expense. Ok, give him some time off his eventual sentence for, uh, um, being caught!

#2 Well, it does suck trying to get somebody to pick you up at the airport.

#3 I just had five other thoughts -

1) Whats a thing like this cost? I send a little package via Fedex its like 20 bucks. I weigh the same as about 250 of those little packets, so you do the math. Seems like he could have taken a cab for the amount it must have cost.

2) It does seem like a rough ride, but so does seat 12b with two really big people on both sides and a kid with stomach flu sitting behind you.

3) Theres only 2 crewmembers on your average Fed Ex 767 cargo jet and only one on the Cessna carvan, a small plane by comparison, but the cargo bay in the caravan is bigger than my first apartment. Its big enough to do some real damage. Lets hope the pilot/crew at Fed Ex are armed.

4) When they Xray-ed the container he was in, didnt anyone notice that the package contained a grinning idiot skeleton?

5) Seeing as how he got xrayed by a commercial Cargo scanner, does he still plan on having kids?
