British expat and former flight attendant Charlotte May Lee, aged 21, is currently making the most awkward hotel booking of her life—behind bars in Sri Lanka—after security agents reportedly discovered her luggage stuffed to the brim with what investigators are calling "the world’s edgiest souvenir": 46 kilograms of bone-based narcotics. The so-called "human bones" drug, valued at a cool $3.3 million, is apparently all the rage in West Africa, though not so much in Sri Lankan customs lounges. Officials say this bust makes her the new top influencer in international drug smuggling, though surely not the career highlight she hoped for on LinkedIn.
Ms. Lee insists she’s innocent, claiming someone clearly misunderstood her packing strategy—"Who wouldn’t accidentally mix up their organic, ethically sourced bone powder with clothes and cosmetics?"—while her lawyers are busy arguing that the concrete prison floor is actually a new form of minimalist design. The case has left travelers everywhere double-checking their bags for free magical powders—just in case. And to think, all she wanted was a change of scenery before her visa expired. Now, she’s got a concrete room with a view for the next few decades.
