Massive Ketamine Seizures at Detroit Metro Airport

Federal authorities seized 100 pounds of ketamine, worth $4 million, from a traveler arriving at Detroit Metro Airport from France. The U.K. citizen was denied entry into the country and sent back to France, while U.S. officials kept the drugs. Ketamine is a sedative that can be abused for its hallucinogenic effects and was the drug that authorities say killed actor Matthew Perry. The traveler claimed he was visiting his girlfriend in New Jersey, but the large amount of drugs in his luggage raised suspicions. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection seizes an average of nearly 2,900 pounds of dangerous drugs daily at its ports of entry.
