The ultimate triple dog dare: Man swallows flash drive to “obstruct” information from Secret Service.

If you ever found yourself on the wrong side of the law, just how far would you go in evading the 5-0? Would you run on foot, by scooter, car, or plane? Would you pull knife, gun, rocket launcher, plasma shifting uber weapon? All of these and more are thoughts that go through a persons head in the few seconds in which they transform from innocent, frightened civilian to hardened criminal. I’m sure that running on a scooter and shooting plasma beams at the police is a much more favorable “goin down in a blazing glory” that Florin Necula would rather prefer. Unfortunately for Mr. Necula whom recently found himself on the wrong end of not the police, but the Secret Service, the only means to hide the sought after information from the men in suits was to literally keep his mouth shut — and swallow a flash drive.

Can you say ouch? It makes me barrel over and wince in pain when I think about all of the unsettling feelings a flash drive would bestow upon my innards. For Mr. Necula, four days was as much as he could take. After which, the dreaded “removal operation” ensued at a local NYC hospital. I’ll let you all use your grown up minds and imaginations on how it was removed. Was the data recovered fully? That information is MIA at the moment. Looks like we’ll have to follow up on this one a little on down the road.

As for Mr. Necula, he is currently facing (4) felonies, “obstruction” humorously and ironically being one. Now that’s what I call determination…(or stupidity)
