CRIMES WE NEVER THOUGHT OF COMMITTING
BBC - A Californian man has been charged with using his false leg to smuggle three endangered iguanas from a nature reserve in Fiji to the United States.
Prosecutors say Jereme James stole the banded iguanas while on a visit to the South Pacific island in 2002. He is alleged to have constructed a special compartment inside his prosthetic limb to move the reptiles. Officials began investigating Mr James after receiving a tip off that he was in possession of several of the beasts.

It's the iguana part we're talking about here, right?
Or, is there really somewhere out there naive enough to believe that artificial limbs have never been used for smuggling?
Actually, given the sordid history of such endeavors, it's hard to believe that someone was stupid enough to think that customs officials would never consider searching a prosthesis.
Additionally, are there really that many people unaware of the trade of exotic animals, alive & dead, within the United States?
