Arrested man had cocaine stuffed in false leg December 11, 2007 - monstersandcritics.com
Frankfurt - German customs agents have arrested an amputee coming in on a flight from Brazil with one kilogram of cocaine stuffed inside his false leg.
The agents, who patrol Frankfurt Airport with sniffer dogs, became suspicious when a faint trace of cocaine was detected on the 35-year-old one-legged man's hands.
They x-rayed his stomach, the usual hiding-place for drugs which the smugglers swallow in impervious sachets, but found nothing. So the man was sent to Frankfurt University Hospital to have his high-tech, metal leg examined.
Customs spokesman Andreas Urbaniak said 198 sachets of cocaine had been packed around the metal stem inside the prosthesis. He is being held awaiting trial.

He may get off, but I don't think he has a leg to stand on.

I guess he should have washed his hands.
I've never heard of people getting extra heat for having drug residue on their hands at the border, sounds like some kind of big brother tactic.
