In no particular order -- and with all due thanks to the Daily News, whose full article you'll want to read -- here are some of the weirdest items seized from passengers attempting to smuggle them through customs at JFK, Newark, and LaGuardia:
- $600,000 of cocaine, "concealed in canned vegetables, a Kahlua bottle and an attaché case"
- A dead cat stuffed with drugs
- Nun-chucks, Chinese throwing stars, swords inside canes
- Seven pounds of chocolate-coated heroin bars
- A power chain saw, gassed up and ready to go
- Seven stolen Fabergé bowls and cutlery valued at $250,000
- A frozen monkey head
- A dead relative in a wheelchair (body-transport fees are pricier than regular tickets)
