At the Guangdong-Makau checkpoint, Chinese customs officials noticed an unusual X-ray of an electric scooter. Packages with NVMe SSDs were hidden in front. The method has been chosen very elegantly:
Despite the originality of the idea, the X-ray machine at customs was able to easily detect the SSD. A total of 84 drivers were found.
This initiative demonstrates the ingenuity of smugglers who quickly adapt to the miniaturization of computer components. Customs officials did not provide information about the cost of the smuggled goods and how much fines were imposed on the person.
