Spicy pork sausage found in 'soiled diapers'

McALLEN, Texas – Customs inspectors scored the makings of a barbecue when a 21-year-old South Texas woman declared several soiled baby diapers at a U.S.-Mexico border crossing.

Suspicious of the chunky diapers, inspectors with U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the international bridge in Hidalgo found several links of spicy pork sausage, or chorizo, inside. The diapers had been folded to look soiled, according to a customs agency statement.

The Mission resident, who was not identified after the Friday night incident, was fined $300 and her chorizo was seized.

Man... I'd hate to be the guy who had to make the determination if they were soiled or not... I mean, inspecting poop is bad enough, but how do you confirm it's chorizo?

Although I suspect someone declaring soiled diapers would be a little out of the ordinary...

Yep very odd.
First, why would you carry dirty diapers across the border?
Second, chorizo is typically more of a red color, and it's solid.
In my experience, baby crap is the color of what they ate last, and most assuredly not solid.

And baby diapers are not known for their ability to conceal smells. the lack of stink may have given her away.

Or maybe she tried to cross around lunch time and the diapers just smelled too good...

Do you really need to "sneak" such a thing back?
