Since April 22, more than one-hamillion of the black capsules, each containing 18 to 24 milligrams of amphetamine, have been seized by agents of the U.S. Bureau of Customs, BNDD, and state and local police.

"They're bringing in tickets by the bushel full," me police official said. "Some of the people probably should have been turned away with warnings like people who had brake lights out or something.
