00:15This is the passenger enforcement and roving team.
00:19Right now we're headed down to the baggage loading area to go and check bags.
00:27Officers have been tasked with intercepting a traveler's checked luggage before it's loaded onto a flight to Amsterdam.
00:34We're looking for anything that is prohibited. It could be drugs.
00:40The U.S. is the biggest importer of street drugs in the world.
00:46But CBP is now experiencing a surge in cases involving narcotics being trafficked out of the country.
00:53So we're finding a lot of narcotics going out to New Zealand, Australia, Europe, London.
01:01We're seeing a lot of marijuana, cocaine, and we're seeing a lot of ketamine.
01:07Boarding begins in 20 minutes, and two suitcases have been identified as suspicious.
01:14Sorry to unlock it. Thank you.
01:17We'll set them up in a secure spot, check the bags, and then go upstairs and make contact with the
01:21subject.
01:23Fingers crossed.
01:29The owner of the luggage checked his bags in at the last minute, a tactic traffickers use to try to
01:35minimize scrutiny.
01:40Nothing out of the ordinary so far.
01:46So I'm getting a smell.
01:47I smell it too.
01:48And that resembles marijuana.
01:56Oh.
01:59Bingo.
02:22In San Francisco.
02:26Bingo.
02:28Officers have discovered packages of marijuana hidden in luggage belonging to a U.S. citizen traveling to Amsterdam.
02:35I'm so excited right now.
02:37Oh, my God.
02:40Even though marijuana is legal in the Netherlands, the high potency of U.S. grown weed triples its price in
02:47Europe.
02:48So smugglers take huge risks exporting it.
02:53There is a zero tolerance when you're crossing international waters into the United States or out of the United States.
03:04The team now needs to intercept the bag's owner.
03:09They keep a low profile to avoid alarming the other passengers.
03:13We will hope for it to go smooth, make contact with an individual, try to keep the situation as calm
03:20as possible, and then just go from there.
03:24Officers can't detain the suspect.
03:26Do your passport, man.
03:28Thank you, sir.
03:29Thanks.
03:31Until he shows intent to leave the U.S. by attempting to board the flight.
03:35I need to get you.
03:38I'm there.
03:42I'm there.
03:45I'm there.
03:46All right.
03:47How many bags you got, bro?
03:49Just one of them.
03:50Two checking.
03:50Two checking.
03:51All right.
03:52What's your final destination?
03:53Answer.
03:54Answer them?
03:55All right.
04:01Anything in your pockets?
04:06Yes, sir.
04:08Everything in the back is yours?
04:09It should be, yeah.
04:10Okay.
04:10Did you pack them yourself?
04:12Yeah, I did.
04:12All right.
04:13Are you carrying anything in front of anybody else?
04:15It shouldn't be, yeah.
04:16All right.
04:17So, place your hands by your back for me.
04:19Turn around.
04:21Detain you for suspicion of narcotics, aren't it?
04:24He said what?
04:25So, we detain you for suspicion of narcotics.
04:34The flight to Amsterdam will take off on schedule.
04:40Down one passenger, who is detained and searched.
04:56Separate your feet a little bit.
05:00I'm going to go by your groin area.
05:06Take your shoes off for me.
05:09Take the ball over your foot, too.
05:12Okay.
05:12Other one.
05:14I know that one is yours.
05:17During the body search, the suspect complains that he's suffering from back pain.
05:22We'll get to you.
05:23So, the passenger is requesting medical assistance.
05:26So, we're going to give that to him and make sure that he's okay.
05:34Criminals are known to use hospital visits to try to escape custody.
05:42So, while armed officers prepare to escort him on his journey.
05:51Yeah.
05:52This one has 10.
05:53The rest of the team conducts a thorough search of his bags.
05:57Yeah.
05:59Is that part of it?
06:02How many bags altogether?
06:03Three more after this one.
06:0417 altogether.
06:08Hidden in the suspect's suitcases is 20 pounds of marijuana.
06:15This case right now is huge.
06:17This is the first time I've ever actually come across something as big as this.
06:21In Europe, this load has a street value of over $200,000.
06:27It's just rewarding when you put in all this work, doing a good job.
06:32So, yeah, I'm excited about this case.
06:35Making this one of the biggest seizures officers in San Francisco have made this year.
06:45Are you good?
06:46Are you good?
06:46Are you okay?
06:46When the man returns from the hospital, he will be questioned by Homeland Security Investigations.
07:22Please have your passports in your hands.
07:24Have your passports in your hands.
07:25How you doing, my man?
07:26I'm sorry.
07:27Where are you coming from?
07:27Sweden.
07:28Sweden.
07:29When people come here, they can have an attitude.
07:32They can curse at you.
07:32They can scream at you.
07:34How you doing?
07:34Hi, I'm a brat.
07:35I'm a brat.
07:37Can you have your passport on you?
07:38Sure.
07:39My goal for every day is to try to make at least one person smile.
07:42So, if I can do that, I had a great day today.
07:45Officer Giacino's sunny outlook on life is down to a near-fatal car accident several years ago.
07:53Because I was deceased for 13 seconds, then came back, and then they stapled my head.
08:02I don't even know how many staples I had.
08:03I had cuts here, cuts on my hands, cuts all over my body, but somehow survived.
08:08I'm being the straight-up carousel one.
08:11How you doing, boss?
08:12And tomorrow?
08:13Where you coming from?
08:14You realize, like, everything could just end that fast.
08:17So, I think it's cool that you appreciate every day that you wake up.
08:22Because not every day is promised to you.
08:24Just do a random bag search, all right?
08:26Come on down with me, guys.
08:29Okay.
08:33For security reasons, please keep your luggage with you at all times.
08:38Unattended luggage will be removed for inspection and may be destroyed.
08:42Today in baggage claim...
08:44I'm gonna walk over and see what flight these people are getting off.
08:49Officer Giussino's colleague, Officer Atavai, is also on duty making cold stops.
08:54It's a good way to gauge people's reactions by seeing how they act when you kind of walk up and
09:00down the carousel,
09:00see if they're nervous or not, see if they're, like, avoiding eye contact, you know?
09:05Trying to get further away from you, any kind of nervous indicator.
09:09Where are you guys coming from, Milan?
09:11Yeah.
09:12Milan?
09:13Some days I have them where they're all, like, happy as can be to get their bags searched,
09:17and then you'll have other days that's just, like, the people are just so bad.
09:21All right.
09:22You can just have a seat right there.
09:25A U.S. citizen returning from the West African country of Guinea
09:30has been referred to secondary after declaring that he's carrying food.
09:35He said he had fish.
09:36I'm gonna need gloves for this here.
09:38I don't want to touch none of that.
09:39It is legal to bring most fish into the U.S., but some species are prohibited.
09:45So you can just bring all your bags up here.
09:50Where's the fish in here?
09:52I can smell.
09:54Okay.
09:55All right.
09:56You want me to open it the other way?
09:58Yeah, all right.
09:59Yeah, I don't want it to fall out, fly out of there.
10:05Okay.
10:07Are you hungry?
10:10Listen, fish is allowed.
10:13I'm just gonna make sure that it's all fish.
10:17The man is carrying 15 pounds of dried hake.
10:23Are there teeth on these?
10:25There is.
10:26There's teeth on them.
10:27It's another unusual thing that you have to be careful for.
10:31It's popular in West African cuisine, where it's known as panla.
10:35I would never think I would have to look out for fish teeth while searching a bag, but that's definitely
10:42something new.
10:44The fish is allowed, but the suitcase is filled with other food items.
10:48Still gotta check under there and make sure there's no... nothing that the smell of fish could be concealing.
10:57Which could be carrying non-native pests and dangerous pathogens.
11:03What's this one?
11:04Honey.
11:04Honey?
11:05This is your first one.
11:08Unprocessed honey can contain harmful bacterial spores.
11:11Even with the smell of fish, I can still smell the honey.
11:15It must be good there.
11:18Then, Officer Atavai discovers something potentially more harmful.
11:23What is this?
11:24It's mud.
11:26The traveler claims the mud balls have therapeutic properties.
11:31Usually when you have a body part that's aches, you can just rub it on that.
11:36I just wanna make sure.
11:38But Officer Atavai isn't convinced they're safe to let through.
11:42He calls in an expert to help.
11:44I'm gonna go get the ag officer now.
11:46He's just gonna take a quick look through this and make sure it's all good, alright?
12:01Where's the fish in here?
12:03In Newark...
12:04I don't want to touch none of that.
12:05A routine inspection has revealed 15 pounds of dried fish.
12:10Are there teeth on these?
12:11There is.
12:12There's teeth on them.
12:14Along with other organic matter, including balls of mud fresh from Guinea West Africa.
12:20He's just gonna take a quick look through this and make sure it's all good, alright?
12:24Agricultural specialist Solomon arrives to inspect the contents of the traveler's luggage.
12:29That's all fish.
12:30That's fine.
12:30But this...
12:31Is this more of that tea?
12:33Oh, that's the flattened race.
12:36That's...
12:36And then this is...
12:37Okay.
12:37This is the last one he had.
12:43Most of the atoms are harmless.
12:45But he zeroes in on the mud balls.
12:48As for U.S. agricultural regulations, the mud is not allowed.
12:51It's prohibited.
12:51You know, he can pass a lot of disease in the United States.
12:54He can't bring in nematodes in the United States.
12:57So it's not allowed.
13:00Nematodes are microscopic worms.
13:03While they perform a vital role in breaking down soil,
13:06non-native ones have the potential to threaten the U.S. ecosystem.
13:11So the nematodes, you know, it has the small eggs.
13:14And it's microscopic.
13:15We cannot see...
13:16There's no eggs in there.
13:17Yeah, we don't know.
13:18We cannot see through our bare eyes.
13:21What's in here?
13:23Is it more of that?
13:25Looks like it.
13:26Looks like it.
13:28Each year, parasitic nematodes cost over $150 billion in crop losses across the globe.
13:36Which is why CBP prohibits foreign soil from entering the country.
13:43That's why we clean the boots.
13:46You know, the people who are visiting the outdoor activities or something, we clean the boots.
13:51So we are really strict about bringing the mud and soil.
13:59The mud balls are seized and will be destroyed.
14:02Thank you for your patience, man.
14:04I appreciate it, alright?
14:05But the rest of the traveler's items are permissible.
14:07So he and his fish-filled suitcase are free to go.
14:11He was very cooperative.
14:13He was very respectful of the process.
14:15He said he just got off an 18-hour plane ride.
14:18Thankfully, I think the bag was probably under the plane.
14:21I'm sure somebody caught a whiff of it.
14:31Atlanta, the Georgia state capital.
14:35Known locally as the Big Peach.
14:40Ten miles south is Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International.
14:55Flights from here connect with more than 220 domestic and international destinations.
15:04Making it a hub for criminals and gangs looking to distribute illegal goods.
15:13D-9, right?
15:15D-10.
15:16You're with D-10 now?
15:17Today, the PERT team is on the lookout for a person of interest.
15:22We are part of the passenger outbound enforcement team.
15:28You got the picture?
15:29You want to go take a picture real quick?
15:31Today we have a person of interest heading to Canada.
15:34We have a feeling that this is drugs leaving the country.
15:38Officers have twice seen the traveler preparing to take a flight to Canada in the past 24 hours.
15:44Those are usually red flags and indicators that somebody is smuggling.
15:49Smugglers are known to pick up and drop off contraband and then take the first available flight out.
16:00So there's always security points for safety precautions.
16:05Come on in.
16:06Right now, we're going to head over to the gate.
16:08We're going to check to see if the passenger has any check bags.
16:11You have to go below the plane.
16:15Officers receive news that the plane the man is due to board has just landed on the other side of
16:20the airport.
16:21There's always a back route to go to all the places just to avoid the crowds.
16:27The suspect's flight is due to take off in less than an hour.
16:34Nice day, huh?
16:35No.
16:37Officers need to intercept and search any checked luggage before boarding begins.
16:46Ten, correct?
16:47Yeah.
16:48Nine.
16:48All right.
16:49That's all right the first time.
16:55You're going to have to head a little closer to the domestic side because the Canadian flight leaves on the
17:01domestic side.
17:06They're going to start boarding around 3.30.
17:09I feel like they usually get there ahead of time just in case.
17:14I try to get ahead of the game.
17:19To throw officers off their scent, the cartels constantly switch up their trafficking routes in and out of the U
17:26.S.
17:27What's going on, man?
17:29In the past year, drug seizures by Canadian and U.S. authorities have increased by more than 50%.
17:36I just need to pull one bag.
17:38If I give you the name of the person, would you be able to pull that bag off for me?
17:42Yeah, yeah.
17:43The number of flights the suspect is taking suggests he could be what's known as Amptrade.
17:49Here's the name right here.
17:51Couriers who try to lessen their chances of detection with frequent trips transporting low-volume shipments of narcotics.
17:58So right now, we're trying to trace the person's bags to see where they're at so we can do a
18:02bag examination.
18:05Okay.
18:06All right.
18:10If he thinks of us, they're here, he can go and run.
18:12So we try to avoid that situation by doing things down here first before we go over there.
18:16That would be like a last resort.
18:19The suspect doesn't have any checked bags.
18:21All right.
18:22I'll be back then.
18:23Watch out.
18:23Watch out.
18:26But then, officers get word that he's about to check in with a large piece of carry-on.
18:34Hey, how are you doing?
18:35I'm good.
18:38Can you do me a favor?
18:39When he's checking in and he comes over here, can you guys let us know?
18:42We're going to be standing right over here.
18:43All right.
18:45Boarding is about to begin.
18:48Come back.
18:49He hasn't got to the gate yet.
18:51So officers position themselves on the jet bridge.
18:55So we just put out a little hit on him.
18:57And we're just going to stop him, have a conversation with him, see what he was doing here for a
19:00day.
19:02Now, it's a waiting game.
19:05So we just want to stand by until he passes through here.
19:08He's in line.
19:09Okay.
19:19We like to usually get there ahead of time just in case.
19:23In Atlanta.
19:24When he's checking in and he comes over here, can you guys let us know?
19:27We're going to be standing right over here.
19:30Officers are waiting to intercept a passenger who they suspect is a regular trafficker of narcotics.
19:37We had this person of interest.
19:39So we're just going to have a conversation with him and see what he was doing here for a day.
19:44They probably never got caught in their life and they've been doing this for a while.
19:47And this could be the first time they ever got caught.
19:50Before making their move, officers need to visually ID the suspect.
19:55There's another guy standing in front of him though.
19:57So I don't want to like.
19:59Do too much?
20:00Yeah.
20:01What did?
20:02It looks like him.
20:03We got the same hairstyle and everything.
20:06But need to remain out of sight to avoid spooking him.
20:14What's your passport, buddy?
20:19Trying by yourself?
20:20Hmm?
20:23You guys keep going.
20:27Where are you coming from right now?
20:28Just out of Atlanta, man.
20:30Atlanta?
20:30All right.
20:31How long have you been here?
20:32Only one day.
20:32One day?
20:33What are you done for a day?
20:34Just I went to go see a friend.
20:35How long have you known this friend?
20:38Not that long.
20:39Not that long?
20:39Just an artist.
20:40I work in music.
20:43The man claims he's a music engineer.
20:45He's a music engineer.
20:45And has been visiting a performer who lives in the city.
20:48What was his name?
20:492K Baby.
20:502K Baby?
20:52He's a local rapper.
20:53Him and then another artist, Honjo.
20:55Know that one?
20:57While the officer gets a crash course on local hip hop artists.
21:01You don't listen to music?
21:02I listen to music, but I don't know any of those artists.
21:04What kind of music do you listen to?
21:05Reggaeton.
21:06You know, stuff like that.
21:07Yeah.
21:07Yeah.
21:09She's just going to check your bag real quick.
21:11Just to see everything.
21:11Okay.
21:13The rest of the team conducts a thorough search of his carry-on.
21:18You don't have any check bags, right?
21:19No.
21:20No?
21:22Man, y'all crack down.
21:24It's very serious.
21:27They find no evidence of drugs or any other illegal products.
21:33At least you stay hydrated, right?
21:34I'm up to good things.
21:36Good things.
21:37All right, here you go.
21:38Here's your passport, man.
21:39We appreciate you being compliant.
21:40Thank you so much.
21:40Have a good one around.
21:41The man is free to leave.
21:43Okay.
21:44And continue to work on seeing his artists fly high on the Atlanta music scene.
21:50It was a good lookout.
21:51I'm not going to negate the lookout.
21:53It did look suspicious, but he gave us no issues.
21:55Everything came back negative.
21:57And negative is as good as a positive.
22:01We just keep looking.
22:02We just keep searching.
22:03Okay.
22:03Okay.
22:06Okay.
22:15Okay.
22:19Okay.
22:34More than 14 million people apply for visas to visit the U.S. each year.
22:39Can I see your passport, please?
22:40Yes.
22:41You can.
22:42Every stop is an opportunity to make sure that people aren't coming into the country for
22:47nefarious reasons.
22:48Many attempt to deceive authorities or conceal past criminal activity to gain entry to the
22:54country.
22:56It really just takes one moment or one slip.
23:00And that's why it's so important to make sure people have the proper documentation and
23:03that they're coming in with good intention.
23:06Is it your first time here?
23:07Yeah.
23:07All right.
23:08What do we think so far?
23:09I mean, it's a little cold out.
23:10Well, I think the weather is almost the same, but I think it's colder.
23:13Yeah.
23:14Yeah.
23:14I gotcha.
23:15So I'm going to borrow you really quickly.
23:16I'm going to take you to my little station and I'll take you from there.
23:19Okay?
23:20Come on.
23:21In Newark, Officer Faria is conducting cold stops on travelers arriving from the
23:26UK.
23:27Place all your bags here.
23:29Okay?
23:30The man states he is visiting New York for a short, solo vacation.
23:36Do you have friends here?
23:37Family?
23:38Are you traveling with anybody?
23:39On my own.
23:40Come on your own?
23:41Okay.
23:42Do you have any wife, kids or anything?
23:44Yeah.
23:45The traveler explains that his wife, as well as his five-year-old and two-week-old
23:49children are staying home in the UK.
23:53So we're not going anywhere else besides New York City?
23:55No.
23:55No.
23:56Oh, Costco member.
23:58Yes, sir.
23:58Love me some Costco.
24:00Yeah.
24:01All right, sir.
24:03So this is my least favorite part of the job, is asking you to repack the bag for
24:06me.
24:07No.
24:08No.
24:08His suitcases are clean, but the man appears nervous.
24:12You're going to stay in New York.
24:14You're going to see the sights.
24:16You have no family here.
24:18No friends.
24:19No.
24:19And you're just coming here.
24:21Yeah, just coming here.
24:23So is this your first time trying to come to the United States?
24:26Have you ever had difficulty getting a visa?
24:28Oh, yeah, yeah.
24:29Sure, sure, sure, sure.
24:29So tell me about that.
24:30Tell me about that process.
24:32He makes a surprising admission about previous attempts to visit the country, explaining
24:38that he's made several unsuccessful visa applications in the past.
24:42Take your bags and just sit back down over there for a moment.
24:47I do find it a little strange that he has been denied visas multiple times.
24:51And that's why I'm just detaining him for the moment.
24:55The man's confession that he's been refused visas.
24:58This is a weird case, right?
25:00And that he is here without his family.
25:03He's got a kid that was born two weeks ago.
25:06Suggests vacationing might not be the real reason for his trip.
25:10Who is he visiting?
25:11He says nobody.
25:12He has no family, friends, first time in.
25:14He's a solo traveler.
25:15He knows someone here for sure.
25:17If you can figure that out, the story will start to kind of unravel itself.
25:24Officer Faria calls the hotel where the traveler claims to be staying.
25:28Okay, hi.
25:29This is Officer Faria with U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
25:33And receives some surprising information.
25:38It turns out that the traveler canceled his reservation before his flight and was refunded.
25:46He said he planned his trip in November.
25:48If he canceled his hotel in September, there's already just red flags all over this.
25:52You allowed me to believe that you're staying at .
25:55Yeah, that's why, that's why, that's why I'm going to straight away.
25:58But when-
25:58But sir, I called.
26:00You canceled your reservation.
26:03I didn't cancel the reservation, but when you-
26:05Why would you carry a booking reservation for a place you're not going to that you canceled?
26:08What is your intention in being in the United States?
26:12Providing a false declaration to a federal officer is a crime.
26:18Punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
26:20You have one chance to tell us the truth.
26:24Because if you tell us another lie, that's it.
26:26You're out of chances.
26:40Atlanta International is the world's busiest airport.
26:44Come on, find it.
26:46The black one?
26:48You can take it.
26:55It's a city of opportunity.
26:57Everyone comes from all of them.
26:59There's always something going on here in the city of Atlanta.
27:02This is the gateway to the vast agricultural regions of the southeastern U.S.
27:08Good job.
27:09Find it.
27:12Officer Collins and seven-year-old beagle, Mookie, are on the hunt for bugs and pests,
27:18which could decimate its farms and food supply.
27:22Can you lower your book bag?
27:23Mookie.
27:25Mookie.
27:26Mookie.
27:28One minute.
27:31I love my job.
27:32I love coming into work every day, working with my canine partner, Mookie.
27:36We have fun every day, and every day is game day.
27:40Ain't that right, Mookie?
27:45Armed with a sense of smell 10,000 times stronger than his handler.
27:52Can you lower your book bag for me?
27:56Mookie is a four-legged plant and meat-seeking missile.
27:59Hello, sir.
28:00Can you stop for just a moment?
28:01Sure, sure.
28:02He's smelling my food.
28:04What kind of food is it?
28:06It's beef patties.
28:07Yeah.
28:07What's this right here?
28:08That's patties.
28:10And what's that?
28:11Patties.
28:13You good?
28:14You're good to go.
28:15I would give you a patty, but you'd get in trouble.
28:21I used to work for the Internal Revenue Service, and one day I was like, okay, I'm ready for a
28:26change.
28:28The reason why I chose Canine was because my dad trains dogs, so I've been around dogs my entire life.
28:34I heard about the Beagle Brigade, and I knew that that's what I wanted to do, so once I got
28:39the opportunity, I applied for Canine, and here we are.
28:44The first flight on the team's schedule is one from Korea.
28:48Some items that do come from Korea would be pork products, which there is African swine fever in Korea, so
28:56we do have to take those items so that the disease doesn't get out here in the United States.
29:00Wow, look at these.
29:02So cute.
29:04Come on, Moose.
29:06A Beagle's sense of smell is powerful enough to detect the equivalent of a drop of liquid in 20 Olympic
29:13-sized swimming pools.
29:15Hello, ma'am.
29:16Ma'am.
29:17Which is why they've been used as tracker dogs for centuries.
29:21Can you lower your book bag for me and step back?
29:31If Mookie finds something suspicious, he indicates by sitting down.
29:52This is a weird case right here.
29:54In Newark.
29:55He has no family, friends, first time in.
29:58He's a solo traveler.
30:00Officers are questioning a traveler from the UK who may suspect has provided false information to gain entry to the
30:07U.S.
30:07He said he planned his trip in November.
30:10If he canceled his hotel in September, there's already just red flags all over this.
30:14He insists he's here to take a solo vacation.
30:19Where are you going?
30:21What is your intention in being in the United States?
30:25But he canceled his initial hotel reservation and has provided no other details of his accommodation.
30:33What's the truth?
30:35The truth is...
30:36Okay, so the thing is this.
30:40I intend that I'll get each hotel.
30:44You're not telling us the truth right now.
30:46You either know someone here and you're intending to stay here or you're coming here to work.
30:51To be honest with you, sir, I'm here on tourism.
30:54Nothing else.
30:55Sir, you're not going to work with us.
30:56Okay.
30:57So just wait right here.
30:58We'll be with you soon.
30:59Excuse me.
30:59Excuse me.
30:59Sir, there's nothing else to say.
31:01I don't...
31:02I don't have any questions to do anything here.
31:03I'm just here to visit.
31:05That's all.
31:06Officers suspect he's meeting a contact in the U.S. who could be fixing him up with illegal work.
31:12I mean, he's given me so many stories.
31:14I need to speak to him one-to-one.
31:17Seeing what that actual story is and see what we could do.
31:20I just need the truth.
31:24Let's go in the room, take a seat.
31:31Take a seat on the other side.
31:33Let's start again.
31:34Let's start from the top.
31:35Okay?
31:36Tell me about your trip.
31:37I want to know why are you here.
31:40The man admits that he switched his hotel booking to somewhere closer to the airport after he filled out a
31:47Zesta.
31:48You've got a lot going on here.
31:49It's okay.
31:50We're not upset.
31:50This is the secondary plan.
31:52This makes no sense.
31:54You want to visit New York.
31:55You're staying in Newark.
31:56How does this work?
31:58I want to know who are you meeting?
32:00I don't have anyone.
32:02To be very honest, I'm here in the U.S. on tourism.
32:06Be honest with the officer and tell him what it is that you're coming to do here, who you're coming
32:11to see.
32:13Just think about this before you answer.
32:18Eventually, he offers up the phone number of a contact in the U.S.
32:23Who is it?
32:24This is my friend from the U.K.
32:26Okay, sir.
32:27Uh, this number here.
32:28Yeah.
32:28This is a U.S. number calling you.
32:31Who is it?
32:34All right.
32:34I think it's...
32:35I think that should be K.
32:39Okay, so yeah.
32:40So this is it.
32:41Is it...
32:41You said K?
32:42Yeah.
32:43K is...
32:43Who's K?
32:43K.
32:43Tell me about K.
32:44I want to know who this person is.
32:46So K is just, um...
32:48Does K have a last name?
32:49My, um...
32:50I don't know his last name.
32:51He's not a close friend.
32:53He's just a distant friend that I keep in contact once in a while.
32:58Where does K live?
32:59He's in Atlanta.
33:00Atlanta, Georgia?
33:01Yeah.
33:01When are you going to see K on this trip?
33:03I don't intend to see K.
33:05K is calling you?
33:06Yes.
33:08Who is K?
33:08Okay.
33:10The man refuses to divulge any more information.
33:14And the true reason for his visit remains a mystery.
33:18Who is this person?
33:30In Atlanta...
33:31Hello, ma'am.
33:33Ma'am.
33:34Officer Collins is searching travelers arriving from Korea.
33:38Can you lower your book bag for me and step back?
33:41And Beagle Mookie has picked up a suspicious scent.
33:45You have any food in this bag right here?
33:47Yeah.
33:47What kind of food do we have?
33:48Baby food.
33:51As well as baby food, the woman is carrying fresh apples from Korea, which are prohibited.
33:56What is the problem?
33:58So I have to send you in for an agriculture inspection because you have food items that have to be
34:02looked at, okay?
34:04The maximum penalty for failing to declare prohibited fruit when entering the U.S. is $10,000.
34:12You're not in any trouble.
34:13You're not in any trouble.
34:15Fine.
34:16You're fine.
34:18Officer Collins gives the woman some advice on next steps.
34:22Just make sure when we go over to the inspection area, just make sure you declare all of your food
34:28items, okay?
34:30Good job.
34:31Sit.
34:32Good job.
34:33Most people just want to bring a piece of home with them.
34:36But in other countries, they have diseases that could devastate the apple industry here in the United States.
34:43Okay, come on, let's go.
34:44Find it.
34:46The next flight due to arrive is from Jamaica.
34:50His favorite scent is a banana, and this is one of his flights where he loves to find bananas.
35:01Before joining the K-9 unit, Mookie underwent a 12-week intensive training program
35:09and can now search up to 400 passengers every 15 minutes.
35:15Hello, sir. Can you lower your book back for me?
35:17Sure.
35:17Oops.
35:19On any given day, we typically search to the thousands because this is the world's busiest airport.
35:26We'll work a flight maybe 20, 30 minutes, give him a 15, 20-minute break.
35:32They're not robots, even though he wants to work all the time.
35:37Officer Collins might have swapped a career with the IRS for one as a dog handler more than a decade
35:42ago.
35:43Good job.
35:46But he can still count on Mookie to be right on the money.
35:51So since he gave me the final alert, I'm going to verify to make sure that there is something in
35:56here.
35:57Good job. Let's see what you got.
36:00Each day, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seize around 4,500 prohibited agricultural products.
36:08And here we have sugar cane, which is peeled.
36:13This is allowed.
36:16This is what he was alerting to.
36:18Don't know what it is, but definitely the wood with bark is not allowed,
36:22so this does have to go in for an agriculture inspection.
36:27Bark is a habitat for vast numbers of bugs and pests.
36:32Good job, Mookie.
36:37So Officer Collins needs to locate the bag's owner.
36:41So now what we're going to do is we're going to wait for the passenger to come to collect their
36:45bag because of the wood-boring pests that could potentially be inside of the branches.
36:52Since records began, more than 6,000 invasive species have hitchhiked their way into the U.S.
36:58Where are you going?
37:00Let me see your passport.
37:02Oh, this one is on my mom.
37:04Where's your mom at?
37:06You just going to leave her?
37:07You got to bring her over here with you.
37:08And I'm going to send you guys in for the inspection, okay?
37:11You can follow me.
37:13Officer Collins escorts the man and his family to secondary, where the plant manor will be confiscated and they'll be
37:20subject to a full bag search.
37:22Don't want mom getting mad at me because I'm making you leave her behind.
37:26And the team gets back to work.
37:30It's like a game of hide and seek.
37:32Good job finding.
37:35Once they find it, they get their reward.
37:37And it's like, okay, where's the next one coming from?
37:40It takes Mookie just five minutes to search the remaining 150 passengers on the flight.
37:47Well, this one doesn't bite.
37:50A walk in the park for Atlanta's finest.
37:53You can search tomorrow.
37:55Good job.
38:04Who's Kay? Tell me about Kay. I want to know who this person is.
38:06In Newark.
38:08He's not a close friend.
38:10He's just a distant friend that I keep in contact once in a while.
38:15Officers are questioning a British man who they suspect could be in the U.S. to pick up illegal work.
38:22Where does Kay live?
38:24Atlanta, Georgia.
38:26Despite having a family at home, he claims he's on vacation.
38:31But it's revealed the details of a U.S. contact named Kay.
38:35Hi, this is Officer Faria. I'm at the airport here.
38:40Eager to prove he has no nefarious motives, the traveler allows Officer Faria to call his contact.
38:46Are you expecting somebody today?
38:48And discovers Kay is, in fact, a woman.
38:51You're not in trouble. I'm trying to clear his story up.
38:54He gave me this number and I just had to call you real quick.
38:58Okay.
39:00I think there's been a miscommunication.
39:02As Officer Faria continues the conversation.
39:05So you're coming to, he's going to Atlanta, Georgia on the 12th.
39:09And then you're going to pick him up from there?
39:11The true reason for the man's visit quickly becomes clear.
39:15How'd you guys meet?
39:16Okay.
39:17Just a casual hangout. You two are going to spend a couple days.
39:21Okay.
39:21I really appreciate your honesty and your help with this.
39:24Don't be sorry. Stay safe, okay?
39:27Bye.
39:29All right.
39:31So, I spoke to your friend .
39:34I know why you came here.
39:37You've told me a lot today, but you haven't really told me the truth.
39:42You came here, to be honest, to cheat on your spouse.
39:46Sir, I'll be honest, I don't really care if you're cheating on your wife.
39:50That's not against the law.
39:51You could have been out hours ago, but you keep telling me falsehoods.
39:55I met a newly last week.
39:58Last week or so.
39:59I'm like, I'm basically just here to just like, unwind all of the work stress and all that.
40:04Have some nice time in the USA.
40:06So you came here, you want to meet a few girls? Is that why?
40:09Does your wife know you're here for those reasons?
40:12No.
40:13You're free to go.
40:17Satisfied, the man is now being honest about the reason for his visit.
40:20I'm not the moral police. I do not judge your life choices. I am just here to enforce the law.
40:27He can finally begin his solo vacation.
40:31I love my wife. I love my kids. I'm also looking forward to going back to them. I miss them
40:35already.
40:37Just my first stop of the day turned into a real long story.
40:41What he does on his own time is his own business.
40:44He did sound repentant, but it wasn't until the truth came out afterward.
