You wouldn't make much money if you tried smuggling heroin into Indonesia from Australia.
From an article in 2010
Quote:
WHEN Lee Rush learned in April 2005 that his son Scott was off to Bali, he felt sick.
Scott had no money, no passport - as far as his father knew - and a history of drug use. Rush phoned an old lawyer friend, Robert Myers, who voiced his worst fears: that Scott might be travelling as a paid courier to carry drugs.
The two men agreed the 19-year-old had to be stopped. Myers rang a contact in the Australian Federal Police and asked him to have Scott intercepted before he left the country, on suspicion of illegal activity. By his account, he was assured this would happen.
But the AFP took a different course. Instead, as the young Queenslander was preparing to fly out of Australia, the AFP tipped off their counterparts in the Indonesian National Police. Nine days later Rush was arrested with three other mules at Bali's Denpasar airport as they were about to return home with nearly 8kg of heroin strapped to their bodies. In September 2006 an Indonesian court sentenced Rush to death.

I suppose the police could have done something, but at the time they had nothing on them and could only have been arrested under the suspicion of illegal activity.
The only thing I don't agree with is imprisoning them for 10 years,
then killing them. Either allow them to serve the rest of their life in jail, or kill them straight away.
