TWO Bahamian men, ages 32 and 22, are being questioned after the discovery of $13,500 worth of cocaine in the US Departure Lounge of the Lynden Pindling International Airport.
The find was made around 4pm on Friday by members of the police’s Central Intelligence Bureau (CIB), who were acting on a tip.
The 1 3/4 lbs of cocaine was in a carry-on bag, and police suspect the aim was to smuggle the stash into the United States.
Police say the successful operation demonstrates how valuable tips from the public can be, and urged anyone who thinks they know information about a crime to report it, no matter how small or doubtful the tip might be.

So what

Agreed (with a tad bit more empathy). It's always unfortunate when people make bad choices, but every choice has a cost, something you missed out on because you chose this option over the other, her cost was her freedom.
She's a police and she worked in the drug enforcement unit? That really is a throw-away-the-key level betrayal. How many people did she endanger over the course of her career?

It is written that it is the glory of GOD to conceal a matter, the honour of kings to search it out. The oath SO HELP ME GOD - 1 Corinthian 1 verse 25-29: the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:29 That no flesh should glory in His presence.

(Just to clarify: my point was, I have a bible too, as do many people, and I can quote it randomly. It proves nothing if not applied properly and in context)

Hatred and revenge does very little to change the course of history for bettering the lives of anyone who really wants to make a difference.There are lessons to learn and we must come to terms with the fact that Nelson Mandela sat in prison all those years until his time for being liberated came, the rest is history. When one blames others for their misfortunes they fail to see that GOD uses everything for the greater good of humanity by showing each of us, the role we have to play has a set time, a particular purpose because love is the greatest force not hate. What we sow, we reap and even when it looks like nothing is working favourably for you it eventually turns to that place and point in time when it is dark enough for a little star to shine brightly. In memory of all those whose words lit the path of peace and have gone on. To Mr.Jaime Glenn your words in 1981 about being process was accurate, timely and the three decades happened just as you said. Rest In Peace.

What does hatred and revenge have to do with anything? The law doesn't hate this woman. The law looked at what she did and meeted out justice. I repeat, she made a bad choice, her other option was to not assist in the transportation of drugs, and the cost? She would have had to forgo some additional money. She chose door 2 and that also has a cost, a prison term.
Please don't equate Nelson Mandela's imprisonment with that of a drug offender.
