HOUSTON, TEXAS -- Two U.S. air marshals face federal drug charges accusing them of using their positions to smuggle narcotics through airport security and onto planes for transport, federal prosecutors said.

Shawn Nguyen, 38, and Burlie Sholar III, 32, both of Houston, were arrested Thursday after an informant delivered 33 pounds of cocaine and $15,000 in "upfront money" to Nguyen's Houston home, authorities said.

According to a criminal complaint, authorities began investigating Nguyen in November after receiving a tip that he was involved in selling drugs.

Authorities said Nguyen recruited Sholar and that the two planned to smuggle 33 pounds of cocaine aboard a plane bound for Las Vegas in exchange for $67,500.

If convicted, both men could face at least 10 years in prison and fines of up to $4 million.

Everyone makes money from drugs, from the Bush family, all the way down to the street hussler.

That's why they'll never be legal, our economy needs capital to come from nowhere -- prohibition.

You don't have to blame Bush for anything for this troll to show themselves, just mention the word, Bush and they show up. Like a cult, they can't read through anything mentioning their cult leader, without getting angry and blustered, too crazed to respond rationally. In their mind all they hear is 'defend bush', 'defend bush', it's sad really, they can't help themselves. The cure is something most of them refuse to allow, education. Hence, the response is mostly with pictures, as most of Bush's supporters cannot read, they need to use this form of communication.
