This is a really poorly developed show.
Similar show regarding NZ, AU & UK are way better and well executed shows.
This show reveals not only poor movie making skills in every level but, also shows US customs/HSI/Airport Security in poor light.
When you compare it to the NZ show, you think how poor the US Border Security is, at many levels.
1. In all other shows, you will see use of Canines as the best and simplest method to sniff out the people/packages carrying contrabands.
2. The people on other shows are so polite and professional in their attitude. While in the US version, it seems that the only thing the US security personnels are worried about is reaching their target number of catches, sort of. They behave like they are pressured to find out people and they almost prey or beg to the god that whomever they have put in custody will be carrying pallets in their stomach with drugs upon X-rays.
3. The equipment they (US people) use are so poor. I mean who uses traditional medical X-rays to determine the presence of drug ingestion. Look at the NZ, UK & AU shows and you will see full body X-ray machines that are quick and are Theo ones that Security personnel themselves can use them without any assistance of a doc/x-ray technicians.
4. The US/JFK warehouse, baggage unloading area behind the carousel, the mail sorting area, all are so dirty and have poor illumination. Looks so bad.
5. They don't have X-ray machines in check-in baggage unloading area, instead they go to the incoming planes itself carrying a portable x-ray machine to X-ray the baggages.
6. The only thing the US version is good at is to show how unprofessional the US Airport security personnel are.
I am very disappointed with the poor light in which the US personnels are shown.
I mean this is supposed to be the most advance country in the world.
