Not quite the intent of this thread but related.

As mentioned in the Streaming thread, I've been watching YT videos on Border Security. So far, I've seen a good sampling from Australia, Canada and UK.

Australia seems to focus more on food products & cigarettes (Asian people), cash over 10K, drugs, and Indonesian boats going after shark fin etc.

Canada is food products & cigarettes (Asian students), cash over 10K, and an occasional dumb-ass US citizens who brings in guns or medicinal MJ. Apparently, even if MJ is legal in the US and legal in Canada, you still cannot transport them over the border.

UK shows are different. It's illegal immigrants/workers and false student entries (primarily from India & Pakistan), cigarettes (but not really food products) and drugs.

Don't really know if these are truly representative for Australia, Canada & UK, or just what the producers thought would make for a better show. Probably a combination.

FWIW, the Canadian female border control agents are the best looking. And there is a lot of attempted smuggling of cigarettes (like 20-50k) in travel luggage.
