For clarity: 1.5 lbs. isn't "a small amount." She could face life imprisonment for that in Britain.
EDIT: this is a value of up to $130,000.
EDIT: My previous post on number of doses was way off (sorry for that). She was carrying enough to make up to 20,000 doses of heroin, based on a typical dose of 0.033 grams pure heroin cut with other materials.
