The Lithuanian Mob Was Smuggling Cigarettes Into Russia With a Drone 81
Daniel_Stuckey writes: "A homemade Lithuanian drone was reportedly being used to smuggle cigarettes into Russia, meaning that organized crime has beaten Amazon to the punch in the quest to deliver desirable products to customers aerially. Russia has 'detained' the drone, a spokesman with the Kaliningrad border department of the Russian Federal Security service told one of Russia's largest news organizations earlier this week. It's not the first time drones have been used to smuggle products — back in November, people tried to smuggle drugs into a prison in Georgia; the same thing happened in Sao Paolo back in March and in Quebec last fall. Basically, people have learned that drones are good at carrying things."

Bringing them into Canada makes sense, with some of the highest sin taxes in the world, though. They're $14 a pack in this province.
So, if you accidentally try to bring more than your personal quota into the country, is it a sin tax error?
