To Catch a Smuggler

This gives you an inside look at what our CBP officers do to stop smugglers from bringing drugs and illegal contraband into our beautiful United States of America.

Until you people have worked in their line of work, your low reviews are a joke.

People coming in from a foreign country, when going through federal customs, can be legally detained and questioned for ANY reason no matter how trivial it may seem. The customs agents seen in the show are very much real, however they are also somewhat acting in order to make the show more watchable. A lot of the show is made for entertainment purposes, but the premise is very real. My suggestion is to stop taking shows like this too seriously, but still respect the CBP, HSI and all those who are working to protect our country. Drug trafficking is a huge issue and currently our government is allowing the border to be overrun with illegals and with that comes more drugs, more human trafficking and more bad people.

....., where you are supposedly innocent to proven guilty the rules doesnt apply to travelers, visitors and tourists.

The arrogance f the customs officers seems to have no limits! The HSI at least seem to act professionally, but the custom officers are quite something, if I lived in the 30s I would have bet money they were trained by the German Gestapo.

Glad I have no wish to visit the land of the free and brave, that live knee deep in their own hypocrisy! Quite shocked tbh! Respect must be an absent word in their vocabulary!

Said all that, its worth the watch, if not for anything else, then to get confirmed any decision of going to NZ, Australia or Canada instead!

Jesus I can only watch this show in 5 minute increments. The dramatizations make this show almost unwatchable. In addition, the cases are drawn out to an almost ridiculous amount of time - makes me nuts.

Maybe it's me, but half of these searches seem unlawful. It's an intriguing show, but their reasoning for some of these frisks are weird.
