The pills were stashed in a balloon:
From the press release:
The ecstasy seizure was made late Tuesday night as a 23-year-old man from El Paso walked across the Bridge of the Americas (BOTA) international crossing. CBP officers selected the man for an intensive exam. As the exam progressed, CBP officers developed reason to believe that the man had an item concealed in a body cavity. While awaiting an x-ray exam to confirm the presence of the object, a CBP officer observed the suspect remove an item from his pants attempt to conceal it under a nearby mattress. The CBP officer was able to secure object, which was a red balloon about the size of two golf balls. CBP officers opened the balloon and discovered 244 tablets. A tablet was tested and the result was positive for MDMA (ecstasy). No other drugs were discovered during a full exam of the suspect. The subject was turned over to the El Paso Police Department Wednesday morning for local prosecution. The estimated street value of the ecstasy is just under $5,000.
