you are just riffing on the opening line of the linked article... "This drug seizure is bananas." You did skip the obvious (FYP): I can see how it could be appealing to smugglers, alas they slipped up.
Where is the headline from? I have of course heard about the hole, and I'm not in the least surprised that some of my fellow Arkansans think it's hell breaking loose. But I had seen that. I'd also be curious as to which official has been tasked with dispelling the "rumor".
