Prison guards foiled a new attempt to smuggle a cell phone into a Brazilian prison by carrier pigeon — this one wearing a tiny backpack — and said Friday that the practice is becoming almost commonplace.An exhausted pigeon wearing a small makeshift backpack was intercepted just outside walls at the Danilo Pinheiro prison near the city of Sorocaba, said a spokesman for the Sao Paulo State Prison Affairs department. The representative spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the matter with the press.
"The use of carrier pigeons to smuggle cell phones into prisons is becoming almost commonplace," he said. "Guards now keep a sharp eye on pigeons as well as on inmates."

that is classic prison ingenuity. People in prison with time on their hands will always come up with clever ways to exp the things they are missing outside.

Everyone knows Brazilian birds don't have souls. Now if the bird flew from the US into Brazil that's a different story. Or if the mother of said pigeon flew from Mexico to the US and gave birth to pigeon in the US then was captured and taken to Brazil.

I know they kill a ton of animals (thank you Penn and Teller for that episode of Bullshi!t). But I was pretty sure they'd make some sort of stink about this. I mean, c'mon, they made a big deal about Obama swatting a FLY!!!

Now that's creative problem solving. If they were that resourceful initially they wouldn't have gotten caught in the first place.

leave it to you to tell the criminals they are not good enough . so are you a better criminal?can you scale buildings too?So lets see you are an expert gun authority who talks about mac tens like they haven't invented a better weapon since then and how you would kill the scum and swell my face by assaulting me as if you could.Now you are saying that criminals are not smart enough or they would not be there?Oh i forgot eldamon you are also an authority on drugs and laws and art and gaming and foreign affairs and science. did i forget anyone that you have not ridiculed or had shitty things to say to people in general. get off your anime horse and go take some more stock photo's for your 15000 websites that you have signed up for and not even looked at let alone post anything.
