:   Remember that story of the hero customs agent snagging a tanker truck full
:   of cocaine? There is a strange twist to the story.
:   
:   The Federal agent's manager repeatedly tried to interfere with him making

:   The agent's dog had flagged the truck; the agent weighed it and found a
:   discrepancy. His manager said it must be in the tires. You can only check
:   the tires for drugs he was told.
:   
:   But the agent persisted, and made the bust. His manager let the driver
:   of the truck leave. The driver literally fled on foot back to Mexico.
