What do you do when your cellphone-smuggling
carrier pigeons get caught on their way to the big house? Why,
you go higher tech, of course. Those texting-crazed Brazlian
ultra-max prisoners hatched a new plot to fly a radio controlled
helicopter up over the wall of a prison, dropping diaper-swaddled
handsets into the awaiting hands of criminal non-masterminds on the
inside. Unfortunately for them, police foiled the plan when they
pulled over the accomplices on the outside, confiscating the
chopper, a suite of phones, and arresting the four who were paid
just $5,000 to get the plan airborne. Our suggestion for their next
attempt? Jetpacks.
