Pfffffff.... It's super harsh, tbh, but.. Let's be frank, knowing shit is illegal and that international airports have super strong vigilance regarding illegal bringings... It's foolish not to expect a bad upbringing... Specially in a country that is explicitly angry against yours.

I hope she doesn't have to go to jail for this, tho.

Edit: also, U. S. Officials and newspapers should shut the fuck up if they really care about her. Now they made this routinary criminal event into an international cold battle for power. She's ruined exclusively because of this.

I don't disagree, it's illegal and it's not hard to figure that out before you try to enter a country with prohibited substances. Then again American media always play off "middle class" people who get caught bringing drugs across borders as victims of overzealous foreign regimes. The US propaganda machine absolutely could have stayed out of it in terms of making it a political issue, but they just had to leverage this woman into a political pawn.
