EX-AGENT TELLS HOW TO HIDE DRUGS

TYLER, Texas - A one-time Texas drug agent described by a former boss
as perhaps the best narcotics officer in the country plans to begin
selling a video that shows people how to conceal their drugs and fool
police.

Barry Cooper, who once worked for police departments in Gladewater and
Big Sandy and the Permian Basin Drug Task Force, plans to launch a Web
site next week where he will sell his video, Never Get Busted Again ,
the Tyler Morning Telegraph reported in its online edition Thursday.

A promotional video says Cooper will show viewers how to "conceal
their stash," "avoid narcotics profiling" and "fool canines every time."

Mr. Cooper, who said he favors the legalization of marijuana, made the
video in part because he believes the nation's fight against drugs is
a waste of resources.

As a drug officer, Cooper said, he made more than 800 drug arrests and
seized more than 50 vehicles and $500,000 in cash and assets.

"He was even better than he says he was," said Tom Finley, Cooper's
former boss on a West Texas drug task force and now a private
investigator in Midland. "He was probably the best narcotics officer
in the state and maybe the country during his time with the task force."

News of the video has angered authorities, including Richard Sanders,
an agent with the Tyler Drug Enforcement Agency. Sanders said he plans
to investigate whether the video violates any laws.
