A would-be drug smuggler soaked a cow onesie in methamphetamine, part of a whole suitcase full of clothes he tried to sneak aboard a plane, US justice officials said Tuesday.
Raj Matharu checked in two bags at Los Angeles International Airport on a flight to Sydney, Australia, the US Department of Justice said.
As the cases passed through X-ray machines, customs officers became suspicious and opened them up for a closer look.
There they found more than a dozen items of clothing — including the cow onesie — that were dried stiff and covered in a white residue, according to the department.
Tests revealed the clothes had been soaked in a meth solution and allowed to dry, with more than one kilogram (2.2 pounds) of the drug concealed among the fabrics, it added.
