Drug bust nets 72,000 ecstasy pills June 3, 2011 - pressrepublican.com
PLATTSBURGH — A Montreal woman faces drug-trafficking charges after allegedly trying to smuggle 72,000 ecstasy pills across the Canadian border early Friday.
Tara Haynes, 34, was arrested by Clinton County Sheriff's deputies at 12:30 a.m. at the Champlain border crossing.
Customs and Border Protection agents said they discovered the pills, in 21 clear bags, hidden in the gas tank of the rental car she was driving.
The confiscated ecstasy has an estimated street value of between $1.2 million and $2.8 million.
Haynes is being held at the Clinton County Jail without bail on a U.S. marshal's detainer, pending further court action.
In a press release, Clinton County Sheriff David Favro praised the combined efforts of the Border Protection officers and deputies to combat the war on drugs and create a safer community.
Ecstasy, technically known by the acronym MDMA for its chemical makeup, is an illegal drug that acts as both a stimulant and hallucinogen.
It produces an energizing effect and creates distortions in time and perception and enhanced enjoyment from the sense of touch. The drug is typically taken orally, usually in a tablet or capsule, and its effects last about three to six hours.

2,800,000 / 72,000 = $38.88 per pill. Nice job on the math, cops...

How is the combating the war on drugs? It's HELPING the war, not preventing it.

When's the last time there were "ecstacy" pills that contained MDMA?

They prolly asked her some questions and the answers didnt match up, Like why are you driving a rental car across the boarder at 12:30 am?

Man, 72,000 beans wasted. If they were anything like the green hearts I was lucky to score back in 2008 from my girl friends besty's boy friend at the time, then they're all goiNG TO HELL!
Hopefully they were pipes or nasty cut ones..

I can't help but laugh...the next 10 million will make it through though...why people like these pills so much anyhow?

This is far from a new smuggling technique, and is used quite commonly wherever drugs are taken across borders by car etc. The rental car is an oldie too.
This is one of the places that will undoubtedly be checked IF the vehicle undergoes any serious scrutiny.
Either she was singled out for some sort of discrepancy or suspicious appearance/behavior, or perhaps just got horridly unlucky and was picked at random...

The others - the living - are those who pushed their control as far as they felt they could handle it, and then pulled back, or slowed down, or did whatever they had to when it came time to choose between Now and Later"

Except the plentiful ecstasy in the northeast tends to not be ecstasy.
Then again, I guess just because it entered the country in NY doesnt mean itll get sold in NY.
