Woman cuffed for smuggling iPhones in beer bottles A Chinese woman has been stopped at the border after trying to smuggle more than 200 iPhone 4S devices from Hong Kong into the Apple-mad nation hidden inside empty beer bottles.

Obviously the issue here is not the lady smuggling but rather that the beer bottles are clearly a crime enabler and need to be heavily regulated if not banned outright! The thought that beer bottles are directly involved in horrific crimes of this nature is upsetting enough...but the real arse clencher is that as usual our government is weak on crime and the causes of crime.

She mustn't have been very bright:
1. 'Good' Chinese girls don't drink beer;
2. No-one takes glass over the border from HK to the PRC for re-cycling. That is the task of the super-efficient wizened crones who extract everything that is possibly recyclable from the rubbish collection points in order to make ends meet;
3. In order to smuggle anything across the border, all one has to do is go to a 'shipping' company - the best ones do not have a sign out front. Satisfaction guaranteed.
