Chinese Woman Smuggles Deer Genitals - as part of the news series by GeoBeats.
When you think of smuggled goods, what comes to mind? Drugs, weapons, but how about deer genitals?
Well, one Chinese woman was held at an airport checkpoint in Russia for carrying deer private parts. According to RIA Novosti, a customs official claimed that the lady tried to smuggle the dried deer genitals, hiding them in her purse. Believed to cure impotence, deer privates are used in Chinese alternative medicine. In total, three genital parts were discovered in the woman’s possession, all of which “fall under limits for export”. This means the woman will be facing a fine for not listing the deer parts in her customs paperwork.
In another report involving genitals and security, 41-year-old, Jonah Falcon was detained at San Francisco International Airport. Officials noticed a “bulge” in his pants and feared a possible “biological threat”. Falcon was thoroughly searched and says “They even put some powder on my pants, probably a test for explosives. I found it amusing”. Falcon is reported to have the world’s largest penis, which is what the unknown “bulge” turned out to be.
