The above link is a different story of US military personnel committing crime. It was so long, I didn't really read the entire detail.

But I believe that the robbers were US Army Rangers who had served in either Iraq or Afghanistan. They found out that when shipping back to the States, their large duffel bags would get only a cursory inspection from authorities. The people checking would open up the bag, look at what was on top, and OK the bag to get onto the plane out of the sandbox.

What was in the bottom of these large duffels though, were AK-47's that the Rangers were smuggling home. These AK's were supposedly untraceable, and were used in the bank robberies.
