'A' for effort now, and 'A+' for brazenness and tenacity. We almost feel bad he was caught.
According to Sina news, one man traveling from Hong Kong to China got stopped at the border and when searched was found to be carrying 94 iPhones on him. And when we say on him, we mean that very literally.

The unnamed man, who officials say they stopped because they saw him walking strangely, had managed to duct tape iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus models to his legs, crotch and torso in plastic bags and some very inventive Tetris-style wrapping.
Apparently smuggling iPhones into China happens a lot, just not on this scale, due to the fact that electronics tend to go for more money in China than in their neighbouring countries (especially when you can get past paying import taxes).
Here's hoping they were at least gentle when they were taking them all off, because ouch.
