A New Use for the Biblical Archaeology Review
In Australia, drug squad detectives found sachets of the drug speed hidden in hollowed out pages of the Biblical Archaeology Review magazine.
According to the news report, a couple was importing drugs by hiding them in the Biblical Archeology Review, which had its pages cut to form a hollow.
You have to wonder who these people are. Since many bloggers are very critical of BAR, maybe these drug traffickers were bloggers who found a better use for BAR.

Gosh, imagine how much you could smuggle with a hollowed-out BHS!
Nelson,
I agree with you; they could not carry much contraband inside a BAR. This shows that the smugglers were not Old Testament people.

Isn't it ironic that these guys hid something in a journal of a field dedicated to finding things?
John,
Thank you for pointing out this irony. One wonders how these people came to read BAR.
