I always like to read the police blotters in newspapers, and in a way, this is a police blotter for drugs. I remember finding this by complete accident a very long time ago, and I was absolutely fascinated. Micrograms is the intelligence report of the DEA and chronicles the “best of” in intercepted smuggling operations. Cocaine in book lining, heroin in tote bag handles, opium disguised as chocolates. I’m not very big on drugs, but it’s a very interesting read, and a testament to ingenuity, however unfortunately directed. After looking at all the different ways here people have tried to smuggle drugs, I imagine the agents of the DEA have very challenging and rewarding jobs.
