This is the second time this month at this airport alone.
According to NBC and other U.S. media, customs authorities at LA International Airport searched the carry-on bag of a man, Raj Mataru, 31, who was going to Australia.
Inside the suitcase were 'stiff' white and bright clothes. There seemed to be something on the cow's design pajamas, underwear, and socks.
Investigators examined the clothes and found positive results for methamphetamine. Originally, the drug was in powder form, but it was dissolved using a special solution, applied to a T-shirt, and wetted.
The total weight of the clothing was approximately 32.5 kg.
An investigator said "Drug dealers continue to invent creative ways to smuggle drugs" he said.
The prosecution indicted the man and put him on trial.
Earlier on the 2nd (local time), customs authorities at LA International Airport found more than 12 t-shirts with drugs in the carry-on bag of a 20-year-old British schoolgirl A who was going to Australia.
The total weight of the shirt was 13 kg.
During the investigation, she submitted a receipt saying she had purchased new clothes. It also denied the allegations that it knew nothing about the drugs. But police detained her for possessing drugs to distribute them.
