This morning's WTF?

Passenger at Chicago airport forfeits almost $100G worth of erectile dysfunction pills to CBP


A man was found carrying nearly $100,000 worth of erectile dysfunction pills at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, alleging that the drugs were for his friends.

On Thursday, U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) officers discovered 3,200 Sildenafil Citrate tablets in a man’s luggage during a routine baggage exam, the federal agency said in a news release. The nine pounds of erectile dysfunction pills have an estimated manufacturer’s suggested retail price of about $96,608. The Chicago Tribune reports that the drug’s active ingredients are similar to Viagra.
