Inside a UK airport, a female passenger is caught smuggling in cigarettes more than the legal allowance. The suspect pretends to not know of the allowance but later admits she is a repeat offender in this crime. Elsewhere, custom officers stop passengers with suspicious baggage. A swipe of their belongings shows high traces of drugs. The officers must locate the drugs before they can charge the passengers with a crime.
At airports in England, customs agents check suspicious baggages and odd travellers to prevent illicit activity and substances from entering the UK. Officers pick out nervous passengers, and believing them to be drug mules, scan them for drugs. Sniffer dogs pick out illegal packages.

I have no stake in this, I am not a world traveler. I rarely leave my home due to illness. That being said, the one small red phone on a support pillar versus a huge “Nothing to Declare” point does definitely seem like a a trap. I say this having watched these going back to shortly after the Millennium, and they still haven’t changed it at UK, it is a trap, they don’t want you to declare or they would have made it far more visible. Exhausted travelers aren’t going to be alert enough to see the phone, and if they did, they would assume a red phone was reserved for security purposes, red being an indication not to touch.

To be honest, there is no excuse, the guy could have asked an officer “Where can I declare the over 4K tobacco I got over the legal limit” cos by now, everyone knows it’s 200, you can ask on the airport before flying, you can ask also if you’re not sure when you land, making visible or not, makes no exception as they should know they have to declare the goods. As someone that has to fly for work, everyday, I heard this excuses in the airport, even us that we sell Duty free we tell the passengers about the limit, and some of them buy 2-3 extra 200 packages saying they already know

@two-moonz2953 3 ай бұрын

If the same small sign read “Come and claim your GST REFUND worth $1000” there would be a stampede. People may not see the red phone but they can ask an officer. We are all accountable for our actions.

First of all. She was the one who was ill mannered. All he did was correct her and she got offended. Also her reasons to seize the tobacco was subjective since she asked him to roll one and he didn’t want to do it. Not everyone rolls their tobacco. But I will say he should have been a bit more gentlemen like but older people tend to have that attitude.

My father was a seaman when he was young and he was a smoker. When they were counting the cigarettes in that first cabinet my brain went 'Pfft, those are the cigarettes for all the crew on the ship? Well, my father could smoke that amount between Turkey and Cornwall all on his own.' Though he was no longer going to sea by the time I was born that man was a chain smoker like you wouldn't believe. Two to three packs a day probably. Two hundred cigarette allowance? That wasn't even a week's worth for my father.
