Description

At BWI Airport, customs officers uncovered over 400 pounds of khat—stashed in duffel bags left behind after a London flight—worth an estimated $50K and capable of causing stimulant effects similar to amphetamines. Despite tracking the owner via tags, they couldn’t reach the traveler or airline. This bust is part of a larger trend: officials seized nearly 46,000 pounds last year and are already close to 19,000 this year—showing the relentless border battle against illegal substances.
