U.S. woman settles case over flour-filled condoms
PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A U.S. college student imprisoned for three weeks for trying to take flour-filled condoms onto an airplane has settled her lawsuit against Philadelphia for $180,000 (93,000 pounds), a city spokesman said on Friday.
Janet Lee, 21, a student at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, was arrested at Philadelphia International Airport in 2003 after police and security officials thought the flour was an illegal drug.
She was held in Philadelphia on drug-trafficking charges and released only when tests proved the substance in the three condoms was flour.
The condoms, which are sometimes used to smuggle drugs, were a joke among the students, and Lee was taking them home to Los Angeles.
Her civil rights case against Philadelphia, which had been set to go to trial on Thursday, was settled for $180,000 , said Ted Qualli, spokesman for Philadelphia Mayor John Street.

Haha! I recall reading a story where a woman called the coppers and complained that she got ripped off. Instead of some hard-pressed block of cocaine, she got sold a bar of soap!!!!! What a stooge!

Man, what a joke to play. Lol...flour in a condom...
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"
