    No matter how you conceal it, airport scanners / x-rays are designed in such a way that they penetrate deep & alert it as metallic item inside human body, even if you swallow it ( like mexican drug mules who smuggle across US border) the scanner immediately alerts the officer.

    Readers there are 34 International airports in our nation.. Really wonder how many of these are under the radar of smugglers ??? MIA has gained widespread notoriety for being a hub for smuggling syndicates, this is due to it's location, which is close to the turbulent region of North Kerala !!!!

    Their greed for gold will never be satisfied. Less worried about Covid virus but take efforts on the ways to smuggle gold .
