A 25 year old Lebanese man was arrested for smuggling $2.3 million dollars worth of diamonds in his stomach! I wonder if he got a stomach ache from it?

The man was arrested at O.R. Tambo International Airport in South Africa after going through airport security scanners. This may be the only situation where I agree with the body scanners at the airport.

The man was trying to board a flight to Dubai and was forced by security to take laxatives to get the diamonds out of his system. Not only is that a lot of gems to have swirling around in your stomach acid, imagine the poor guys that had to sift through his poop to find all the diamonds. Worse. Job. Ever.
