Barely registers. Don't forget that we live in a world where the mere threat of an ineffective amount of explosives hidden in someone's shoes means we have spent the past decade checking the footwear of EVERY single motherfucker that boards an international flight.
That depends on what part you find ridiculous: a) bomb squads investigating statues, b) people praying to statues, c) drug lords who are religious or d) other?
Its not an international flight though, it is a rural road in Texas and the devotee's of Santa Muerta are hardly comprised solely (or even primarily) of drug lords.
