Chinese straps 94 iPhone 5s to body, smuggles thru China

We’ve heard of news about people serving as drug mules strap on bags of illegal drugs while smuggling them thru airports and customs. However, this is the first time we’ve seen the same done on gadgets — specifically iPhones.

A Sina new reports such a man attempted to cross the Hong Kong – China border with as many as 94 units of iPhones strapped all over his body.

Customs officers at the Chinese border noticed the man limping or having an awkward gait as he passes thru the immigration line.

The guy certainly passes for a new definition of a “gadget mule“.

napaisip din ako eh, bakit 94 lang

Theory:
Dapat 100 yan e.

kung bakit:

1. hindi nila nakita ang ika 95, yun ang dahilan ng pa ika-ika niyang lakad, dahil kung saan niya e sinuksok.
2. limang customs officer ang humuli sa kanya
