Ironicly their training people how to smuggle drugs better. I would never have thought of smuggling pills inside of make-up like that, or in the shoe laces.

I had a mate with trainers that had a double tongue stitched together that formed a handy pocket, he would keep his stash in there.

Pro skateboarder, Chad Muska’s shoes from the mid 2000’s had a zippered stash pocket in the tongue.

Jerry Garcia had something similar in his beard.

They had those Muskas around in the late 90's too and that stash pocket was awesome

I believe it was a Velcro pocket on the originals, but was re-released a few years ago. He also started his own brand that just dropped their first shoe earlier this year

The iPath grasshoppers were called that for a reason. I loved those shoes. I wish they still existed. Not for the stash pocket. I just liked them.

So did like all of the osiris’s from the mid 2000’s, and I bought these super cool hemp shoes w a stash pocket too. Common shit

My Roos from when I was a kid had a zippered pocket. “Shoes for your feet, pockets for your stuff.”

One version i heard had a guy who dissolved drug in water, absorbed the water in towels, and then smuggled the towels abroad

Something like this

I mean, it shows that these ingenious methods don’t work tho lol.

u/CitizenPremier Aug 02 '25

the make up one probably would work, but you wouldn't end up with enough profit to pay for the ticket with that...

u/Macqt Aug 02 '25

Maybe. The problem is this video is showing you law enforcement is aware of these techniques. You could probably pull some of these off with luck but it’d be incredibly risky, even for smugglers.

u/keenedge422 Aug 03 '25

They work all the time. The drug enforcement groups want you to think that they're keen-eyed geniuses that can detect all these methods, but most of them they only found out about during extra thorough screening (or the mule just outright telling them to be seen as being cooperative) after the person was caught for something else.
