world's most expensive squier

These guys check everything, I was carrying my guitar through Logan about 11 years ago coming the Philippines and the case was lined with Anhydrous copper sulfate. The chemical is used as a drying agent and keeps my guitar rust free. It also has a distinct smell, so the customs occifer was kind enough to ask me to open the guitar case and then proceeded to rip it to shreds he then completely took apart my guitar, and was too f#cking lazy to put it back together so not only did I miss my connecting flight, but I had to carry my guitar in a dozen pieces around the airport for the next couple of hours.

COCAINE SMUGGLED IN ELECTRIC GUITARS (FROM MEXICO)
AT THE BALTIMORE/WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL (BWI) AIRPORT

The DEA Mid Atlantic Laboratory (Largo, Maryland) recently received two electric guitars with compressed white powders concealed in hollowed-out sections in their bases, suspected cocaine (see Photos 2 and 3). The exhibits originated in Mexico, and were seized at the Baltimore/Washington International Airport by Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel (no further details). Both guitars appeared to be fully operational (not checked), and neither had obvious seams or any external indications of tampering (that is, the paint and an inner, hard plastic layer were apparently added after the drugs were concealed). Analysis of the powder (total net mass 2,878 grams) with GC, GC/MS, and FTIR confirmed 83 percent cocaine hydrochloride adulterated with diltiazem. This is the first known submission of this concealment method to the Mid Atlantic Laboratory.
