A woman who police say swallowed 320 condoms full of heroin appeared today in an Australian court on drug charges.
The Australian woman, 25, was stopped by customs officers after she got off a flight from Singapore. She was handed to police and then taken to a hospital, where she was kept until all the drug-filled condoms had passed out of her system, officials said.
