RC Helicopter Crime Averted

Found via our About.com Weird News site, a cellphone smuggling scheme in Brazil was foiled when a specially-equipped radio controlled helicopter was confiscated near Presidente Venceslau penitentiary in Sao Paulo. A container attached to the bottom of the heli contained several cellphones wrapped in a disposable diaper. A similar plot was thwarted earlier this year, only that time instead of mechanical whirly-birds they attempted to use real birds -- appropriately enough, carrier pidgeons -- to fly in the contraband.
