LIBERTY CITY (RS) - Frederic Pierce

Liberty City's airport, Francis International, is believed to have developed into a center of smuggling and illegal immigration. Customs Officials are ramping up their efforts to rid our city of the dangers of untaxed goods and unwanted workers. "Our airport is about as secure as a tent in a hurricane," said one unnamed source, referring to the industrial action that had stopped effective searching of foreign flights and the paucity of immigration checks. "We're supposed to be protecting America, and we're about as helpful as a hot dog stand at a vegetarian convention," he said, continuing a theme of dreadful analogies that ran through our interview. "Only last week, we arrested an old Chinese man whose papers were as fishy as a mackerel left out in the sun for 3 days." The Chinese man is being detained until Immigration discover a good reason for kicking him out of the country.

Trivia[]

  • The rumors about the airport being a center of smuggling is later proven in Grand Theft Auto Advance during the mission Flying High. During this mission, Cisco make shoes with empty heels, in order to smuggle drugs past metal detectors at the airport.
