To Catch a Smuggler

By
Industry Observer DRE# ER40011786

Have you seen this show on National Geographic?    I am so addicted, and especially since I love traveling internationally.    I actually checked my suitcase under the zipped area, just to be sure there wasn't another section!    The last thing I would want is to be caught somewhere outside the US with drugs and have to go to jail.   The only time I leave my belongings is when I drop my checked bag at the check-in.    How do we know what happens after that?

 

I will definitely be watching the immigration officers in Lima, Rio, and Buenos Aires to see what is happening!    I haven't ever been on the look-out for this before watching this show, but sure will now!    There was even a show on drug smuggling into Denver, which was interesting, and even knew the streets they showed on the show.    Interesting!

Jerry, drugs are a problem no matter where you are, even in neighborhoods.

Good morning Joan. We have all but given up traveling by air and one of the reasons is a concern for giving up possession of our luggage. Enjoy your day.

Hmm the creativity of nefarious individuals.  Given I don't travel these days, I am sure others appreciate the information.

Thomas, it is an interesting show, and sure opens your eyes to the "under world" and all the bad stuff that goes on, we don't even THINK OF.

Leanne, I was very surprised to see all the different ways those drug lords try to get drugs into our country.

Patricia Kennedy they sure do, there is another one about Trafficing, and Port Authority filmed in Alaska how people live off the grid.  I couldn't do it, but interesting to watch.

Hi Joan:

Sounds like a show definitely worth watching with some good education. I haven't seen or even heard of it.

Joan Cox: So glad Kathy Streib featured this post. Hulu has some great shows. I am reading a book and turned on Hulu, and low and behold, it is a mini-series on Hulu- We Were the Lucky Ones  -  They also have Anatomy of a Fall - excellent

Jeff, it is really an eye-opening show, and surprised at how the smugglers think of new ways to get around the system.

Joan, I am not familiar with this show, but I understand why you would have interest since you travel by air.  Sad that we have to watch our backs at every turn.
