- retaining an individual’s ticket for more than a minimal amount of time or taking the ticket over to a ticket counter
- noting seizure not merely result of adherence to drug courier profile
- defendant proper ly convicted under § 924(c)(2) although not present at time drugs exchanged but only for receipt of money in payment
- uncontra-dicted testimony of two bank employees that bank was insured sufficient to show insured status
- relatively brief detention of individual in an airport on the basis of a reasonable suspicion of narcotics violation, was not an unconstitutional intrusion, the detention involving only a couple of minutes of questioning
- uncontradicted testimony of two bank employees was sufficient
