03:03With nearly a million flights and over 160 million passengers every year.
03:09Okay, where are you coming from, sir?
03:13JFK is one of the busiest commercial airports in North America.
03:17It is a very big airport. It can get crazy.
03:21We have a lot of international flights, countries that travel through here.
03:26And a lot goes on.
03:28Next.
03:31So you are conditionally approved for Global Entry.
03:34If you want to do the interview now, you can.
03:37It's going to be all the way down through the double white door.
03:39Originally, I wanted to be a nurse.
03:41And after starting, it showed me a different side of things that I liked and enjoyed.
03:49Leadership and hands-on and protecting our people.
03:54You're all set. Have a good one.
03:57Next.
03:59Today, the passenger enforcement intelligence team is waiting for three American women returning from the UK who are suspected of
04:08smuggling cannabis.
04:12Hey guys, just have your passports out and just line up in two lines, okay?
04:15At the top of the jet bridge, Officer Satili spots the suspects disembarking and keeps a close watch, but doesn't
04:23make contact yet.
04:25Right now, they're already on the phone making separate phone calls, aggravated, look a little disgruntled.
04:33But we'll see. We'll see what happens.
04:35After several minutes of observation, he makes an approach and baggage claim.
04:40How are you doing today?
04:41You're upstairs, right?
04:42What we were just doing?
04:44Did I see you upstairs?
04:44On the flight?
04:45Where are you coming from today?
04:46Oh.
04:48Okay, all right.
04:48How many check bags you got?
04:50Huh?
04:50How many check bags you have?
04:52Check bags?
04:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:53You have no check bags?
04:54No.
04:54Okay, perfect.
04:55You travel anybody else?
04:56Yes.
04:57They're behind.
04:58Oh, they're behind you?
04:59Okay, all right, perfect.
05:00So we'll walk right over here real quick.
05:02The traveler is taken to secondary inspection.
05:05All right, so the basin's very simple.
05:06We're just going to do a baggage exam.
05:08I'm going to ask you a couple questions about your trip, what you guys did over there.
05:12It's a baggage exam.
05:13Who's doing it all day long?
05:14Ain't nothing special about it.
05:15While Officer Satili focuses on the first woman, her two companions are also questioned.
05:22Let me just help this out.
05:24Okay.
05:24You can't use this with alcohol?
05:25Okay, it's big.
05:26Yeah, it's big.
05:30So real quick, all these bags are yours?
05:32Yes, sir.
05:33All right, pack them all yourself?
05:34Huh?
05:35You pack them all yourself?
05:36Yes.
05:36All right.
05:37Any food, alcohol, tobacco?
05:38No?
05:39Okay.
05:39That's what happens, yeah.
05:42I didn't stop you.
05:43I was there waiting.
05:44Oh.
05:49As he searches her hand luggage, the woman continues showing signs of agitation.
05:56But her bags are clear of cannabis.
05:58Okay.
06:00All right, real quick, I'm just going to write down some stuff real quick.
06:05Okay, so right now you're coming from where again?
06:08Manchester.
06:08Manchester, right?
06:10All right.
06:11Manchester.
06:12And you were there for how long?
06:13Like three days.
06:15Three days?
06:15All right.
06:17Did you go?
06:17Did you go anywhere else?
06:18Uh, went to...
06:26Okay, Spain.
06:27I went to Spain too.
06:29And then Spain, you stayed how long?
06:35Uh...
06:35I have no idea.
06:37Like, I don't know.
06:38How long is your whole trip about?
06:39How long are you out for your whole trip?
06:41About five days.
06:41About five days?
06:42Okay.
06:54Five days.
06:58That's about it.
06:59Okay.
07:00Okay.
07:04All right.
07:05All right, cool.
07:06Uh, just give me two minutes.
07:10Although the women's bags are clear of contraband, their whirlwind trip suggests they could have
07:15been transporting cannabis abroad.
07:18People lie for all different kinds of reasons.
07:20Um, sometimes, you know, they cheat on sniffing another.
07:24Sometimes they went out to do stuff they don't want you to know about.
07:27High-potency U.S.-grown cannabis, known as Caliweed, is in global demand.
07:33Fetching up to three times the price of standard weed on the black market.
07:37You know, the U.S. now is the source country for marijuana throughout the world.
07:42Europe, everywhere, Dominican Republic, it goes everywhere.
07:45So, right now, we're just gonna do a double check to see if they did leave with check bags.
07:48If they did, it's a big indication they probably had something like marijuana inside those bags,
07:53where it's also valued very high outside of the U.S.
07:56So, we're gonna check that first, and if they have more bags there,
08:00it's almost a guarantee that's what the whole purpose of the trip was.
08:03If officers can prove the group returned with fewer bags than they took,
08:07it may be evidence of smuggling.
08:25For security reasons, please keep your luggage with you at all times.
08:29At Newark, officers have detained a British traveler who's been found with an unusual device in a suitcase.
08:37Oh, my God. You are having me on.
08:40You don't know about this?
08:41I am by a certain, do not.
08:43Concealing what appears to be a firearm.
08:46All right, sir, stand up. Face the wall right over there.
08:49Hands behind your back. Separate your feet a little bit.
08:51As well as claiming no knowledge of the gun, the traveler explains he's come to the U.S.
08:57All right, sit down.
08:58For an aviation conference.
08:59So, you said you never opened that before?
09:02I have never opened that box.
09:06So, what do you use it for?
09:09So, it's a training device that shows pilots how much force they need to apply to pull hand out in
09:16an aircraft.
09:17Where have you traveled to with this device?
09:20I have traveled around Europe.
09:22And roughly how many times have you traveled with it?
09:28Many times.
09:29Many times.
09:32Officers now need to determine if they are dealing with a working firearm.
09:37If you press down on this, it seems to look like it's going to fire off if you press that.
09:42It seems to wear your eyes, but if you definitely pull, it's on fire.
09:45Yeah.
09:48I was aware that when you pull the handle, it made a clicking noise.
09:53And I assume that there is some kind of spraying or resistance device in the side of it.
09:58Okay.
10:01Okay, let's just take this out for a second.
10:05Almost 7,000 firearms are intercepted at U.S. airports every year.
10:10Without the correct permits and safe storage, they are illegal.
10:15While officers further examine the device, Officer Guzman drills down on the traveler's story.
10:22I'm just wondering.
10:24You never, like, was curious to open it and see anything else?
10:30Not in the slightest.
10:32Not in the slightest.
10:33Not in the slightest.
10:35No curiosity at all.
10:38I have a very busy life.
10:39I've got lots of other priorities and this isn't moving.
10:43I was sold a complete item that worked.
10:49And I had no curiosity about what was in the box whatsoever.
10:53What's up?
10:53What's up?
10:54I'm seeing what happens.
10:56Despite the man's pleas of innocence, officers aren't convinced.
11:03I think he knew the device was in there.
11:05He was a little flabbergasted at first, but it seemed like there was an excess force reaction to his behavior.
11:11I think he was just surprised that he was caught, honestly.
11:15If officers can prove the traveler is carrying a viable firearm, he could be facing criminal charges.
11:23It's blocked off right now.
11:25The question is whether you can get that out.
11:28It looks like it could be screwed up.
11:29It's blocked off right now.
11:30It's closed line.
11:31It took this long.
11:49At JFK Airport,
11:51Where did you stay at in Spain?
11:54I don't remember any of them before.
11:56Officers are questioning three suspected cannabis smugglers.
12:01The woman who planned the trip appears nervous.
12:08And all three took only carry-on luggage
12:11for a five-day trip to Europe.
12:14Officer Sotilli contacts his supervisor.
12:33I'm waiting to see the results for the outbound to see what bags went out
12:36because I have a strong feeling that something went outbound on the flight.
12:44While the flight records are checked,
12:46a female officer searches the first woman
12:49who is displaying some unusual behavior.
12:53Have you always thought to her?
12:55Yeah.
12:56Let me not be on my phone.
12:57What's she saying?
12:58What's she telling you now?
12:59She told me.
13:00No, she's not telling me anything
13:01because I told her to stand out there.
13:02Stand out there?
13:03Okay.
13:04Because she's not coming up here with me.
13:05Stand out there.
13:06Okay.
13:07Because she don't want to watch myself.
13:08I was going to leave it out there
13:09if she didn't want to watch.
13:10Inside the room, the woman tells the officer
13:13she has an imaginary friend.
13:15Do you take any medication?
13:17No, ma'am.
13:17No medications?
13:18Okay.
13:20Nothing at all?
13:21No.
13:22I think it's the first time I've heard someone say
13:24that they have an imaginary friend.
13:27Yes.
13:27How do you acknowledge that it's imaginary?
13:29Usually you don't.
13:30I know it's the first time I've heard that.
13:31It's the first time I've heard.
13:33Yeah?
13:34Experience tells the officers
13:36that her behavior is nothing more
13:38than a diversion tactic.
13:39That was good?
13:41Okay.
13:41All right.
13:46Everything's like a joke to her.
13:48This is a joke.
13:49This is a joke.
13:50Everything's a joke to her.
13:51From afar, when no one's over,
13:53she's not saying anything.
13:54As soon as you look closer,
13:55she starts talking to herself.
13:56Yeah, and she told me that.
13:56She's like, she's doing this on purpose.
13:59So...
13:59After further investigation,
14:02officers to Tilly's suspicions are confirmed.
14:04The woman checked in a suitcase
14:06on her flight to the UK.
14:08But with that suitcase now missing,
14:11there's no proof of smuggling.
14:13We don't tell you narcotics severe.
14:14We checked the bags negative.
14:16We checked the pat-down negative.
14:18And they're demeaning right now
14:19there's no nervous behavior
14:20between all three of them.
14:21So we're going to let them go
14:22and move on to the next one.
14:24We were just talking to your friends
14:25for a few minutes.
14:25Everything's all done.
14:26Good to go.
14:27Have a nice day, okay?
14:28You're well.
14:30She's going to travel again,
14:31she said, in the next few weeks.
14:32So the next time they travel out,
14:34we'll have our outbound team
14:35go and conduct the baggage exam
14:38if she has any baggage going outbound.
14:40With the group now known to CBP officers,
14:43any future attempt to smuggle drugs
14:45could be their last.
15:1115 million passengers arrive
15:13at San Francisco airport every year.
15:23I know a little bit of, like,
15:24just the airport Spanish, the basic.
15:27Many frequent flyers are enrolled
15:30in the Global Entry Program,
15:31which allows pre-approved travelers
15:33to bypass regular customs lanes,
15:36saving them hours.
15:38No purses, no jewelry,
15:40nothing bought in France.
15:41No, I didn't buy these earrings.
15:44How much were the earrings?
15:45Oh, I don't know.
15:46My husband gave it to me two years ago.
15:48Oh, oh, oh, but you didn't buy anything from...
15:50No, no, no.
15:50Oh, okay, okay.
15:51Have a good day.
15:52Have a good one.
15:53It's a contract of trust.
15:55In return for being prioritized,
15:58they're expected to declare
15:59any purchases made abroad over $800.
16:03But not everyone does.
16:06Today, Officer Moore is checking a flight
16:09arriving from Paris, France.
16:11We have a lot of people from those flights
16:13who don't declare anything they purchased,
16:15so we're just looking out for them.
16:17People, they like to go abroad
16:18and, like, go to, you know, high-end stores.
16:20The high-end items, they are common.
16:23A married couple, both with Global Entry status,
16:27have been referred to secondary for a spot check.
16:31We have to declare, even if it's less,
16:33we just, if you bought new bags, new anything,
16:35we just always ask anything to declare.
16:37Yeah, so we...
16:38Oh, my God.
16:39This sounds like an interrogation.
16:40Oh, no.
16:41We have just kids...
16:42We have one scarf and kids' stuff.
16:45Okay.
16:45All right.
16:46We're gonna go through this one over here.
16:47F-C-O-P now.
16:48Grandson, okay, go ahead.
16:49She's gonna help you guys out.
16:53Okay, so I'm just gonna have you guys fill this out.
16:58Having declared only one high-value item, a scarf,
17:03Officer Moore asks the woman to put it in writing.
17:07Finished?
17:09Mm-hmm.
17:12Lying on a customs declaration form is a federal offense.
17:16Okay, ma'am, so this is everything that you're gonna declare?
17:19This is everything that you purchased on your trip?
17:21Yes.
17:22Did you purchase anything else?
17:23No.
17:23Okay.
17:26Um...
17:26Are you sure?
17:27Yes.
17:28Okay.
17:28So, um, since you are declaring some items,
17:31we do have to do a baggage exam,
17:33so we are gonna examine your bags.
17:35Okay.
17:35So you can just come over here and bring them over, okay?
17:37Okay.
17:38Officer Yanis arrives to assist with the search.
17:41This is a little scary.
17:43It is?
17:44Scary?
17:44No, it's not.
17:46Why do you say that?
17:47You guys know.
17:47You guys are...
17:48Like you...
17:48Like you did something, like, wrong.
17:51No, but you haven't done anything wrong, right?
17:53So there's nothing to be worried about.
17:56The scarf that you purchased, um, how much did you pay for it?
17:59Do you have a receipt for that?
18:00No.
18:03Initially, she declared that she had one scarf and children's toys.
18:07Um, as soon as I opened the bag, there were absolutely no children's toys.
18:10So I knew that there was something off immediately at that point.
18:13And that's not the only thing that captures the officer's attention.
18:17I see you have a bracelet.
18:18Did you purchase that on your trip as well?
18:20You can look through this.
18:21This is 20 years old.
18:23It's, it's, uh...
18:25It's been...
18:2620 years old?
18:27Yeah.
18:27It's been sent to the repair shop twice.
18:30I would like to see, actually, if you don't mind.
18:32Let me see.
18:34What kind of bracelet is this?
18:36Officer Giannis suspects the bracelet is a new luxury brand.
18:43Yeah.
18:44Okay.
18:49Okay.
18:50Here, I'll give you this back.
18:51Give me one second, okay?
18:54An online search reveals the luxury scarf costs over $1,000.
19:01It also confirms the price of the woman's jewelry.
19:05I believe she's wearing one of the bracelets.
19:07Okay.
19:08So it's probably the most expensive one, that $29,000 bracelet.
19:12It doesn't appear like it's 20 years old.
19:14No, it doesn't.
19:15That's $30,000 of purchases they have potentially failed to declare.
19:22Okay, can I have you come over here with me, please?
19:25If found to be lying, the couple could have their preferred travel status canceled and the goods seized.
19:36That's a did inå¤Ŗé region.
19:48I know, sir.
19:49And we, like, who are you coming from today?
19:50All right, may I please see your passport?
19:53At Newark International Airport.
20:05officers are questioning a british man found carrying a device which contains what appears
20:11to be a firearm well it's blocked off right now the question is whether you can get that out
20:20it looks like it could be screwed out
20:26they're trying to find out if it's a functional gun to see if it can cause any dangers they got
20:31to see if it has a vin number that match uh on our systems he stated that he had never
20:38opened a box
20:39before i mean it's a real hard to believe uh it's it's at some point you you have to know
20:46what you
20:46have once this clicks this thing here the safety goes back
20:52and then you get that out
20:55officers determine that with minor alterations the weapon could be operational yet the traveler sticks
21:03to his story i i honestly don't know what to say i honestly don't know what to say i mean
21:07my levels of
21:10disappointment with the people that manufactured that forum is extremely high
21:35the man will be handed over to homeland security investigations
21:44his punishment the potential of five years in prison or a minimum five-year ban from entering the u.s
21:56so far this is by far the most unique experience i've had at cbp
22:03as of right now there's a strong possibility that he will be sent back home
22:07we're here to protect the people of the united states the people that are that are on the street
22:12and getting a firearm off the street is the most important thing that we could be doing
22:20grab a seat sir
22:43in san francisco officers janice and more suspect a couple is using their global entry status
22:50to sneak through designer purchases from paris worth more than the allowed 800
22:57their search has already revealed a one thousand dollar scarf and jewelry worth twenty nine thousand
23:03dollars which the woman claims is old so these two here are the bracelets okay we know that they
23:09were purchased during the trip okay any new goods worth more than eight hundred dollars must be declared
23:16and duty tax paid officer janice wants to know what else the woman hasn't owned up to is this cotton
23:27it is whatever it is you never checked
23:41okay so it's a small leather wallet you have a pin sir i'm not even leather what kind is it
23:48plastic
23:53okay common red flag that i see all the time is someone telling me that that item that i'm looking
23:58at
23:59right now clearly brand new is old or it's dirty or it's cheap that thing isn't cheap it's real it's
24:07new it's not it's not ten dollars so all in total we got thirty nine thousand dollars
24:15by the end of the search officer janice has found more items worth a further ten thousand dollars
24:22math petition in the building my bad not me i don't know who that is the final value of the
24:29undeclared
24:29items is forty thousand dollars and now the couple faces a fine supervisor orange breaks the news
24:40this is too big of a one to just give you a warning we gave you opportunities when you approached
24:45hey
24:45what do you have you said a scarf right and then we gave you another opportunity here to amend your
24:50declaration what she failed to do so we will be canceling your global injury we both get affected
24:55positions yes because we both were the people that we asked you those questions too right
24:59unfortunately these are the consequences right forever you've never had global entry again because
25:05you failed to be placed right all right this time the couple is allowed to keep the items
25:11and pay two thousand four hundred dollars in duty but their days of bypassing regular customs checks
25:18are over it did seem like she was trying to deceive us um she should know that under declaring any
25:24type
25:24of merchandise would probably result in either a penalty or a seizure have a good day guys have a good
25:30good day guys take care take care good job good job look at you all that come on
26:05Each year, thousands of people from around the globe are caught trying to enter the U.S.
26:10to work illegally.

26:19Hoping to fly under the radar, they enter on tourist visas.
26:23Can I see your visa 2019, please?
26:28At Detroit International Airport, officers Mala and Feldhaus have selected a passenger
26:34from the Netherlands for a luggage search after her travel history raised a red flag.
26:39She's a frequent traveler, so we have to verify what she does here.
26:44The woman told officers in primary that she's a fountain pen maker by trade, but here on vacation.
26:54Okay, why are you bringing all this?
26:56This sounds more like work.
27:01I also have to do like admin work or not.
27:05What's your occupation?
27:06You told the premier officer that you also do the pen.
27:09Yeah, so I make parts for the pen.
27:12You make parts from?
27:13Yeah.
27:14For home?
27:15Yeah.
27:16I have a workbench at home.
27:18This is one of the nips that I make.
27:20They're called nips.
27:21Making custom fountain pens is a multi-million dollar industry, catering to wealthy buyers.
27:27Are this the ones that you make?
27:30They're twists.
27:31This is a twist.
27:32The cap twists.
27:35So if I went to a trip and I'm going there for fun, let's say if I went to visit
27:39your country,
27:40I wouldn't bring my work stuff.
27:42Right.
27:42Like you're bringing everything for work.
27:44So this is an indication that you are here to do some kind of work.
27:49So people ask what I do and then I like to...
27:52When I go on vacation, I don't go to tell people what I do.
27:55I go on vacation.
27:56Each pen retails at over $2,000.
28:00Despite claiming to be a tourist, the contents of the woman's bags are telling a different story.
28:06You're here to work.
28:07That's where we're at.
28:08We're not even here.
28:09We're not here to play games no more.
28:10But do you understand how this looks?
28:11You're here to work.
28:12I understand.
28:12But I'm not getting paid for anything.
28:14I didn't say that you're getting paid.
28:16I asked you if you're here to do any kind of business or any kind of work.
28:22What are these?
28:23This is the microscope.
28:26So that's a big heavy bar.
28:28We're done.
28:30Microscopes are a crucial tool for fountain pen makers when carrying out detailed work.
28:35Officer Mala suspects the woman is planning to trade with American clients.
28:40Okay.
28:41You got to start being honest now.
28:43Okay.
28:44Because I do not understand why you're bringing all work items and you claim that you're here
28:48for fun.
28:49What are you here to do?
28:51I sell products.
28:52I sell them from Europe and I sell them globally.
28:55But I don't...
28:56I'm not here to like sell things in person.
29:01Because you're bringing all your work items, your story kind of doesn't matter.
29:05It makes sense.
29:05I'm going to do an electronic media exam on your phone.
29:10I'm going to read your emails.
29:12Whatever is in the phone right now, I'm going to read.
29:15So is there anything else that you haven't told me about?
29:18So I attend shows and I show off the things that I do.
29:23So you physically go on these shows, have a tent, a table.
29:27I have a table and people can look at my work and see the kind of things that I make.
29:31And I display things.
29:32And you also, during the trade show, you also sell your stuff in there?
29:36Do you have...
29:36I sell things at the show.
29:37Okay.
29:38People can see what I make.
29:39And then I have a wait list.
29:41So the wait list is not...
29:42What is the wait list for?
29:44So I know whether people are interested.
29:46And so nobody gives me money at the trade show.
29:50Pack your stuff and meet me over there.
29:53Yeah.
29:55Okay.
29:55Pack your stuff and meet me over there.
29:57The problem with her, once you do something hands-on in here, it's considered labor and you
30:01would need a work visa.
30:04If officers can prove the traveler is planning to make and sell luxury pens,
30:09she could face a fine and be permanently banned from entering the U.S.
30:29JFK Airport is the biggest international mail facility in the U.S.
30:34As a gateway to North America, it handles a million packages every day.
30:41All right, Jared, if you want to run that one more time.
30:45Keeping Customs and Border Protection officers on high alert for smuggled contraband.
30:51When I started working here, I realized that we are the first and the last line of defense.
30:58Sid Dickens.
30:59Give that a look.
31:01All right.
31:02Every seizure that we have, every drug that we stab, every firearm that we stab,
31:07the satisfaction becomes not because we get paid, but it's because the life,
31:13the countless life that we are saving here in the United States.
31:18Today, Officer Cisneros is on the lookout for shipments of a black market pharmaceutical,
31:24arriving from the U.K.
31:26today.
31:27So let's go and find out what we have, what will be the catch of today.
31:44This seems to be a vacuum cleaner.
31:48Nothing here makes me believe there is anything hiding.
31:52You can see the inside of the machine, which is very clear.
31:57Everything is transparent.
32:01They keep an eye out.
32:11Send you a small box.
32:13For any illicit packages hidden among them.
32:17There's something wrong with this box.
32:19It doesn't give me a clear picture of what it is.
32:32Okay, do me a favor.
32:33I want that to put on the side, please.
32:34Yeah, that will be inspected.
32:36That's kind of different from the rest of it.
32:41A second package also raises suspicions.
32:45Both have been shipped from the U.K.
32:49So I'm going to send it back again.
32:52Because it doesn't look good at all.
32:57Okay, so just put that one on the side for me, please.
33:00With the packages singled out for inspection,
33:05Officer Cisneros proceeds with caution.
33:12We don't know what the boxes are.
33:14We don't know if it can get contaminated.
33:17Okay, we have here.
33:23Wow.
33:25I have white powder.
33:33At this moment, I'm going to stop.
33:35Maybe fentanyl.
33:36I'm going to gear up, have a mask, and change my gloves,
33:40and try to test it without opening the package
33:42and find out what it is.
33:56In Detroit, officers are questioning a fountain pen maker, who claims to be entering the U.S. on vacation.
34:03What are this?
34:05This is the microscope.
34:06But her suitcases are full of equipment and merchandise.
34:11Still unsatisfied with her story, Officer Mala asks the woman about her accommodations while in the U.S.
34:18She gives the names of two different friends, explaining that she's romantically involved with both of them.
34:25And when you visit , where are you going to be staying?
34:27With him.
34:28At his house.
34:29Is he married?
34:30Is he single?
34:31He's single.
34:33And who is ?
34:34He's another friend of mine.
34:35You're staying at his house as well?
34:37Yes.
34:38I have a partner with an open registered partnership.
34:42In your country?
34:43Yes.
34:44You're in an open relationship, correct?
34:46I'm in an open relationship, and we've hooked up, and my partner knows about this.
34:49She has multiple partners.
34:51Okay.
34:52Officer Mala wants to make sure that the woman is meeting other men of her own free will.
34:57Do you perform paid sex?
34:59No.
35:00Oh, my Lord.
35:00No.
35:01Are you sure?
35:01Yes.
35:02Because you do come see a lot of guys in here, so...
35:04No, I do not.
35:06Are you sure?
35:06Yes.
35:07We see the...
35:08Or, like, are you in any, like, escort website?
35:10No, I'm sorry.
35:11We've got to ask.
35:11We see them all the time.
35:13Girls from all around the world come here as an escort.
35:15Make sure you're not being traveling.
35:16I have another skill that I obviously use to make money.
35:20Okay.
35:21Satisfied that she's not meeting men under duress, the writing is still on the wall for the pen maker.
35:27All the signs point to her importing luxury goods and the tools to make them with the intention of selling
35:34them.
35:35You are being returned with the first available flight.
35:39Do you understand?
35:43Yes.
35:43Yes.
35:43And the ticket costs $880.
35:46Okay.
35:46Your ESTA will be canceled.
35:48Once you've violated the terms, you can no longer use it.
35:51Forever?
35:51Forever.
35:54The bad thing about her is that once you violate the ESTA terms, you can never use ESTA again.
35:59It's, like, for life, I feel like.
36:01Because it's a trusted travel program.
36:04Once you violate it, you technically consider not a trusted traveler anymore.
36:08Officer Mala is confident that her plan was to make direct sales to U.S. customers to avoid trade tariffs,
36:16a violation of her travel conditions.
36:18Okay.
36:19Okay.
36:20Your seat is 20...
36:22I'm sorry, 48G.
36:23Your seat is 48G?
36:24Yes.
36:25Okay.
36:25Let's go.
36:27Safe travels.
36:29Bye.
36:30Bye.
36:34She understood.
36:35She loves to stay in the U.S., unfortunately.
36:39Most people do.
36:40But hopefully, she'll be able to get the right visa and come back.
36:56At JFK's International Mail Facility.
37:01There's something wrong with this bag.
37:03It has the makening of something illicit coming here.
37:06Officer Cisneros has identified two suspicious packages sent from the U.K.
37:12Wow.
37:14I have white powder.
37:19I'm going to gear up, have a mask, and change my gloves, and try to test it.
37:24I don't take anything for granted.
37:26It might be fentanyl.
37:27I don't know what it is.
37:29A testing device uses laser technology to identify the substance inside the first package.
37:37Okay.
37:38I see that this plastic is very thick.
37:43Let's see what we have here.
37:48Okay.
37:49We're analyzing.
37:50So we're going to close the eggs.
37:56Ketamine.
37:56We have a hit.
37:57Ketamine is a medical anesthetic, a Schedule III controlled substance.
38:04Cheaper than cocaine, it's increasingly being abused as a recreational drug.
38:10Causing intense disorientation, users are often left highly vulnerable.
38:16People use these drugs to rape victims, to take the money out of the victims.
38:22But the very next day, the person who is being given this drug has no conscience of what happened.
38:30Okay.
38:30I got the second one here.
38:32This is sealed.
38:40You have an envelope, and then you have a CD or DVD.
38:45It doesn't make sense.
38:48Wow.
38:49And you also have the white substance, which is wrapped the same as the other one.
38:55Again, it might be ketamine.
38:57I don't know what it is, so I'm going to test that again.
39:01Now we need to scan this.
39:07Okay.
39:08We're analyzing now.
39:14Bingo.
39:15Ketamine.
39:16Hopefully, you know, within 24 hours, we're going to have agents looking at this.
39:22See if the person has prior records, so they can be arrested, and we take it from there.
39:28Since both shipments have come from the UK, Homeland Security Investigations will notify the British police.
39:37If they track down the sender, they could face a long prison sentence.
39:41Wow.
39:43That's 1.65 kilograms.
39:51And let's see what we have.
39:52This one over here, the small ones.
39:57Bingo.
40:01That is 61.9, a little bit half a kilo.
40:06So I will say, okay, that's it.
40:09That's two kilos of dangerous ketamine powder, worth over $200,000, that has been stopped from getting onto the streets
40:18of New York.
40:24The result is that this drug is not on the street, because what we do here is safe life.
40:30And safe life is the most important thing in our mission.
40:33It's just doing what we have to do to keep Americans safe.
40:37Now we have it here.
40:41And we close it.
41:07And we close it.
41:10To be continued, we close it.
41:11We close it.
41:24It's very good.
41:25You're delivering that this past few months.
41:26And we'll see you next time.
41:28And a great deal of essentials.
41:29You'll see you next time.
41:29And we'll see you next time.
41:29And I'll see you next time.
41:29The most important things about the world.
41:29You can't believe it.
41:31Like you'll see, ź·øė¬ė©“,
