>A New Use for the Biblical Archaeology Review

>In Australia, drug squad detectives found sachets of the drug speed hidden in hollowed out pages of the Biblical Archaeology Review magazine.

According to the news report, a couple was importing drugs by hiding them in the Biblical Archeology Review, which had its pages cut to form a hollow.

You have to wonder who these people are. Since many bloggers are very critical of BAR, maybe these drug traffickers were bloggers who found a better use for BAR.
