Two passengers arriving in Hawaii tried to bribe their way out of the state’s mandatory 10-day quarantine. The two travelers offered an airport screener a total of $3,000 to let them leave without going into quarantine. They were promptly arrested and flown back to the mainland after the screener informed authorities.
