    If this is common then just imagine how many people were successful so far and escaped from law? Better Mangalore airport installs full body scanners and with that zero escape.

    There is not a single day, when smugglers are not intercepted, by customs officials from MIA !!! Passengers from Kasargod and North Kerala district, are notoriously law breakers !!!!
