drug mule
Human contraband carrier
A drug mule is a person who smuggles illegal drugs by carrying them on their body or in their luggage, typically across international borders.
Mules are usually low-level operatives who transport for payment or under coercion, often swallowing drug-filled packets or hiding them in body cavities: Customs agents arrested a drug mule with two kilos of cocaine in her suitcase.
