I came across this news report: Traffickers jailed for enslaving Vietnamese women in UK nail salon. It reminded me of the Dept. of Homeland Securities human trafficking awareness campaign video, (the one you've all seen) featuring the tagline "the signs are everywhere". A segment of the video shows 2 young Asian people working in a nail salon and cuts to a concerned looking customer, the owner appears to be an older looking Asian woman. I did some searching and found a blog post which talks about nail salons being connected to sex trafficking, the article links to a news story about a "madam" on Queen's NYC being arrested for terrorizing sex slaves at two locations disguised as nail salons. Then I remembered Terasol Bistro, which has a nail salon next door called Lucky Nails and lo and behold Lucky Nails is owned by... Vietnamese! (and does massages). I wonder if Terasol & Lucky Nails are connected in some way? Terasol Bistro is across the street from Comet Ping Pong, Bucks and Besta Pizza and uses the FBI's "girl lovers" pedophile symbol as it's logo and was visited by Hillary Clinton no less. Maybe she popped next door to have her nails done afterwards? Who knows. Anyway thought I'd put this out there. Maybe we could look into nail salons being used as fronts for human trafficking and prostitution, the DHS video seems to suggest that there is a connection.

Note: This thread got deleted yesterday and the top link from the Japan Times about the UK nail salon has been removed from their website. Luckily I saved the article, so I expect this thread will be deleted again. Let's see.
