Wouldn't those posts fit better into the current budget travel forum?

Travel Safety and Security seems like a decent existing forum for this.

If you were smuggling goods, Community might be a better place to find FTers willing to be mules in exchange for miles....

Is this threa an attempt at humor? Lately, there seems to be a lots of threads with new forum proposals. A few of them are serious.

Maybe this thread is Omni

If the OP is serious, them I'm really

If the people smugglers are bringing pets in too it would fit Travel With Pets. If they do furniture then Travel With Furniture would also be a fit.

Thank you for the productive post.

As a moderator, you should know that every single person that posted relevant information would be in violation of the TOS & would have to be suspended:

That said, sometimes some parts of the TOS are just overlooked...so I don't know how such a forum would play out...

I'm sure the feds don't take kindly to the idea, for instance, of buying a refundable ticket to have a drink with a fellow FT member past security at your airport of choice, yet nobody has ever had a problem posting that kind of thing on FT.

As a former mod, you also know that a suspension is not necessarily (in fact, percentage wise, is rare) a result of a TOS violation.

I concluded (hope!) that it was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

no, absolutely not. Because I don't think they will ever considered to change new thread. I thinks it should be split out from OMNI thread to Travel Safety & Security forums. I perferred where exact will be remain same thread in OMNI forums instead of TS/S thread.

There is another opinion where I can see create new forums instead of TS/S. I'm guess if they will making their decision for which one of good emotional.

moderator, please close this thread, I retract my proposal. with posts like this in OMNI, there is no need for a trafficker forum

Price of Cocaine much lower then in the 80s
