This article is about a few workers of the airlines to help smuggle drugs from the Dominican Republic. The drugs arrived at JFK airport and the worker helped get the drugs to JFK airlines. 18 people were charged with helping smuggle these drugs. 10 of them were airline workers. Seven employees at Delta Air Lines, one at American Airlines, and two others who worked at JFK. Some were Lugguage handlers at the airport, and others were look outs. But as they arrived at JFK the Custom agents check them and found the drugs. The drug leader was a 31 year old named Henry Polanco who is a resident of Manhattan. The leader of the workers at the airlines were lead by Jorge Espinal, 38, a cargo supervisor for Delta. they were arrested and held in captivity.

This article was interesting to me because its about corrupt workers at the airlines. And it has to do with smuggling drugs. I think is interesting to find out what people would to just for money. It opens my eyes to how bad people are sometimes. I would think that airlines workers would be trustworthy but apparently some aren't. I think that News about illegal things just grabs my attention. It's interesting to read about illegal things especially when theres a conspiracy with inside members. I thing the workers are stupid to risk their job for a quick dollar. Its not worth losing your job, their reputation and going to jail.
