Charm from a drug smuggler ending in airport (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amulet

'charm' is the definition.
(amulet is a kind of charm)

'a drug smuggler ending in airport' is the wordplay.
'drug smuggler' becomes 'mule' (I've seen this before).
'ending in' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'airport' is 't'.
'a'+'mule'+'t'='AMULET'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for amulet that I've seen before include "Small charm" , "Charm worn to ward off evil" , "Charm worn against bad luck" , "Lucky ornament" , "Charm, lucky token" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
