 Cocaine pellets removed from a 48-year-old man's stomach after he tried to smuggle them into Australia.
(CNN)Sitting on a nine-hour flight from Thailand to Australia can be uncomfortable at the best of times.
Now imagine doing that with 110 bags of drugs hidden in your digestive tract. A 48-year-old Australian man smuggling 1.1 kilograms (2.4 pounds) of cocaine in his stomach admitted he was carrying the drugs to police at Sydney Airport, shortly after arriving on a flight from Thailand on September 1. The man, who lives in Thailand, had passed a baggage examination when he told police he had ingested a large number of packets filled with cocaine.
An Australian Federal Police spokeswoman told CNN they were unable to confirm details of the discussion between the man and officials. Later, the man passed 46 pellets containing about 460 grams of cocaine (1 pound) after being taken into custody. Authorities then took the man to hospital, where another 64 were removed. "Importing drugs internally is extremely dangerous as it can lead to serious health risks and even death," Australian Border Force Organized Crime Branch Acting Commander Lesley Dalton said in a statement. Dalton said the bizarre incident demonstrated the "dangerous" lengths people go to to smuggle drugs.

I wonder if they caught him on one of those full body scanners they direct some people through at airports these days? AFAIK, they're like a giant full body x-ray machine, so would instantly detect something like this...

To me it sounded like they didn't know, but he gave himself up somehow. He probably got nervous and was acting sketched. I dont think those machines xray you, they just look at the outside

Which may have been a somewhat logical response if they felt at risk of having the packets open up and killing them

Hmmm.. I may be incorrect that a full body scanner could reveal things internal to the body. The info out there is pretty vague:

Seems they produce images like this:

I'd like to know if any airports use ones that could detect anything internal though...
