A recent tip alerted police to watch for a diamond smuggler flying into the Indian city of Chennai. The tipster didn't reveal a name, but police were waiting when the plane landed and stopped a man as he attempted to catch a taxi. A search though the man's luggage came up empty, but investigators noticed that he was squirming around, and seemed uncomfortable sitting. After many doses of laxative, generous helpings of bananas, and numerous trips to the bathroom, authorities had 42 condoms filled with a total of 2,060 diamonds and other gemstones. Ouch.
