Hey /trv/,
I was in Frankfurt airport for my layover when approached by a woman at the luggage carrousels. She had purchased one too many carton of cigarettes at the duty-free store in Turkey, and would we mind carrying it through customs for her? We kindly told her to fuck off.
How close were we to being used as mules? I don't travel a lot so I don't know if asking strangers to help you circumvent custom law is a common occurrence at airports. Or was she almost certainly trying to smuggle something else?
Seems suspicious... Could be the latter.

The I carry x for you and y for me deals bought from inflight or arrival duty free are very common. But that shit is kinda suspicious.
I thought the whole point of duty-free was so you can shop for things with little to no customs hassle.
You were right to tell her to fuck off though. Even if she wasn't a criminal, it's just really rude to foist one's personal problems onto someone else. It's not your problem that she bought too many cigarettes.
Thanks guys, sounds like I made the right choice! :U
