A Guyanese woman was busted at Kennedy Airport with 54 pounds of cocaine stuffed into her pink suitcase, authorities said.
Dorothy Sears certainly wasn't the brightest drug smuggler: U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents got wise to the $1.7 million worth of powder in her luggage after finding a bag of marijuana hidden in her bra during a patdown search, authorities said.
Security agents tagged Sears for the search after noting inconsistencies in her story about why she was traveling to Brooklyn on Jan. 12, an agency spokesman said.
After her dope-filled bra was discovered, agents dispatched a K-9 unit to analyze a suitcase she had checked, which was in another part of the airport.
The coke was tightly wrapped into bricklike packages. Sears' arrest led to an ongoing investigation of her supplier, a Customs and Border Protection official said.
