Suspicious of the chunky diapers, inspectors with U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the international bridge in Hidalgo found several links of

spicy pork sausage, or chorizo, inside. The diapers had been folded to look soiled, according to a customs agency statement.
The Mission resident, who was not identified after the Friday night incident, was fined $300 and her chorizo was seized.

Added by BreederWatch:
Well - sausages? We've heard of sausages being used before - but stuffing them in your baby's diapers. The result would have been more impressive if she had stuffed the sausgages - well - elsewhere. And probably a whole lot more fun - but then - the barbecue would have had an entirely different tenor. Who doesn't remember the ping pong ball scene in "Priscilla Queen of the Desert". Good thing this girl wasn't heading across the boarder.
