    These people who are caught are actually carriers who are carrying them for a free air ticket and a meagre amount as carrying fees. the actual smugglers are never caught.

    ... gold smugglers who are caught should be fed inside the x-ray scanning machine to get exposed to harmful radiation as a punishment to deter others from smuggling !!!
