I don't know if it is still in effect today, but definitely in the late 1980's, the U.S.A. offered diplomatic immunity for senior foreign military officials while traveling in foreign owned aircraft. In other words they are not subject to search and seizure. The man I knew paid $50,000 U.S. for a Paraguay military credentials, and a return trip from Paraguay to Miami on a Paraguay military aircraft. It was good for one time only use. A lot of times they are not transporting actual drugs, but high value assets such as diamonds, priceless art objects, etc., which are used as collateral and security for high level drug transactions, or ????. It might be that only military attaches have this privilege today.
