Default Drugs and phones wing their way to Brazil prisoners

just heared this on the news here in holland so funny i want to share.....

sharp increase in drugs and cellphones found inside a Brazilian prison mystified officials – until guards spotted some distressed pigeons struggling to stay airborne.

Inmates at the prison in Marilia, Sao Paulo state had been training carrier pigeons to smuggle in goods using cell phone sized pouches on their backs, a low-tech but ingenious way of skipping the high-tech security that visitors faced.
