Heartwarming,
look at these hardworking Indians cutting open the zipper frame of this bag and harvesting the aluminum wire held within to later be used to frame an innocent traveler of "smuggling gold" very beautiful.
@AirportGenCus If there were gold under the plating, a cut end could also show a yellow core, which is probably why people are pointing at that tint. But brass and copper show yellow at a cut end too, so the tint alone doesn't distinguish them. So tell us how you determined it was gold.
@AirportGenCus that plating is extremely durable and doesn't tarnish or oxidize under normal conditions. A yellow tint at one end would more plausibly be exposed base metal (brass or copper under a thin plating) so could you please tell us what metal you actually seized? because that isnt Gold.
@ItaloSantaCruz@AirportGenCus never said spray paint was expensive? are you insinuating they sprayed paint on these? where is the residue? surely there would be something on the mans hands as he is handling it. also you can clearly see oxidation of the metal towards the right showing the metal is tamper free.
