This seems like the type of show that you would watch at a hotel when there is nothing else to watch.
Exactly what I'm doing
@@bradleygallavin7378 Brilliant xD
Yes when I'm very bored
6:30 pm Greece, I couldn't sleep, and I'm watching this!
What is kota mean?
In Greek means hen.
Exactly what im doing too
Should have trailed the car with the cigarettes to their home so that when the luggage went inside the house then they could seize that too.
proportionality
@RioSnooker Ph.D but they don't own the country.
@@hzhang1228 r/Whoosh
@@sabih44 the op's joke I get because it works, but the logic isn't there for the second one. unless I missed something?
@@hzhang1228 pretty much saying how the mans car was taken away, the mans house was taken away, might as well take away the whole country!
17:50 - "I chipped in too" says the stay at home mum. Solid defence.
Great insight to what goes on behind the scenes at airports. I do wish that the background music was much quieter so I could hear more of the story.
The background music really is too loud. I sometimes have to turn on the closed captions so I can read what they are saying.
Muzak. Ticky ticky ticky crapola.
I agree. Too loud.
"The cigarettes will be incinerated"
I've got a hunch that they were going to end up incinerated whether you seized them or not
🤣
that put a smile on my face, hahaha
underrated
Doesn't seem smart to *burn* cigarettes.
Lol this comment is pure gold.
"the man seems to be confused about his finances"
me: same...
😂😂😂😂
kinda ironic a Chinese man is confused about numbers...
@@joyl7842 nah, obviously tax evader. Just not much. Most if not all chinese business owner will not declare their cash income, only check income. So at the end of each tax year, thousands will be there for pleasure.
@@joyl7842 Just got cash and did not pay taxes... very popular in national immigrant communities. Especially in restaurant business when payment to employees with unclear immigrant status and low language level is below minimal wage. Nobody complains
Was he wearing an “ironic”
shirt that said criminal ?
I’m AMAZED that cigarette smugglers are not fined!!
They get a “warning” on the first incident. After that, its fines and/or jail!
they were fined indirectly. They paid for 40,000 cigarettes only to now make a 0% profit off the expense. They lost decent money.
@@Ryanfinder226 They were fined directly. Right at the end of the video, the narrator says that they must pay the duty owed on the cigarettes to get their car back.
@@beeble2003 That's an excellent idea. There is a shop in the area where I shop. It is run by 3 asylum seekers. Only recently did I learn that they sell cigarettes and tobacco, all of it illegally brought in.
I notified the authorities and they quietly did a sneaky check on the shop.
They discovered that the men had a string of young women who flew abroad, bought case loads of cigarettes, and sneaked them in. Police watched them for weeks, before catching the women and invading the shop. They found a massive quantity of cigarettes. The whole thing was run by a group of asylum seekers and all were arrested. 5 have since been deported.
Why the hell is so many cigarettes
When I have extra time, I wouldn't mind just rubbing a bud along my baggage just to troll the dogs and security😂
Just make sure to check everything everything before you do that in case you might have forgotten a little something. Otherwise, rub away
make sure nothing falls in when u rub the bag! don't want crummage to get u
I went to the US I had my laptop in a bag and my carry on suitcase. In the airport in Texas a guy with his beagle dog seemed very interested in me😅 they walked past me a few times but eventually just walked away.
When I got to my friends house I looked under my laptop and surprise surprise I found a piece of hash stuck to it 😮 not a lot maybe 2-4 grams but I am sure it would have been enough to deny me acces to the US had he found it
Imagine if that couple was just nervous because they’re not supposed to be seen together and suddenly there are cameras in their faces lol
it kinda makes sense to me. she said she's a stay at home mum and there were no kids with them. of course they could be at their grand parents but still what you say makes sense.
They were the decoy.
@@ferhadmekic3704 the decoy for what?
They have to get a release from them. I live in FL, there are lots of people like them here
Clever. Good thinking.
yall really waited till they got to the car just to seize the car..
Pretty f*cked up
to catch the ring leader, those young ladies couldn't plan a fucking pool party
And destroying just adds more rubbish and waste! Ridiculous, should do something to re use them since they weren’t opened!
@@philtwowheels LOOL that is quite true.
flip inheck ahhh ok I suppose actually, that makes sense 👏
I'm astounded the number of people on drugs, it's scary.
37,000 cigarettes? I'll have 40 cups of coffee with that!!
What I get from this is to
1: Never look nervous cause officers have shitty intuition.
2: Dont bring almost empty suite cases.
3: Make sure to tell them you saved up for a year for your trip cause they apparently never heard of such a thing.
saved up for a year with no jobs - makes sense, ya
@@pennym1056 Theres something called "under the table" pay, ya know? Just because a person doesnt have a traditional job doesnt mean they're not earning a paycheck
@@pennym1056 he probably saved during his entire working career...you know some people do manage their finances...and don't just spend everything as soon as they get it!
No wonder we left England 🇺🇸
@Roku - He is talking about people who left England for the "New World" which later became the United States. Though what he is failing to realize is the Puritans were essentially forced out.
They had 37,000 cigarettes when the limit is 200
Gets let off with a warning
all the merch confiscated. got to hurt. and they said repeated offense will result in more than a warning
Exactly! They attempted to steel thousands from country - just warning...
You don’t get a warning for smuggling weed though do you
I don't understand why they (all four) were not arrested for smuggling. Let the court hand them a wrist slap, do not ket them go until they post bond.
Stupid really stupid Law
Q:"Why do you look so nervous?"
A: "Because I watch DangerTV"
😂😂😂😂😂
At 17:28 the stay-at-home-mom chipped in on the trip too. LOL
Yea, I wasn't happy with how they treated that couple, just because he was unemployed....
a bit harsh on the unemployed couple. the comment of "they were celebrating being unemployed" is unprofessional as well. They might have had a hard year
Plus whose to say they didn't have savings when they became unemployed. There are people out there who can survive while being out of work
I agree with all of you, for every story out there there's someone living it
Forsaken Pumpkin yes, because there’s such a thing as crime stats
obrbob194 high life? Maybe the immigrants (they get extra benefits due to not being used to our currency..I kid you not. My mrs works for the home office in Croydon
Did everybody -including the narrator, not hear that the guy was made redundant -in many cases you get at least a few grand, that should last you a bit and if the couple want a nice holiday to cheer themselves up -good on them.
They should have seized the plane that was used to transport the cigarettes.
Hahaha
It's very inane. I am truly amazed at the amount of altercations these 'elite' officers are getting into with passengers over very isolated incidents of petty crimes at worst when there are far larger security issues at hand
To seize the car is enough
Yea lock up the cabin crew. Definitely guilty
Jack Kruese they could of found maddie if they just did that
Imagine going for a flight and coming home to an audit. This is just wild
He was headed to China and caring boatloads of money. They are removing money from the economy and sending it over to a foreign country. That screws up the economy of a country. The same thing happens in the US. That’s why they’re so hard on this guy

i love how they call frisks in the UK "rubdowns." sounds so romantic
And gay af 🤣🤣🤣

So sensual lol
That dodgy couple who didn't want to open their cases aren't drug smuggling, that's just not his wife and he doesn't want to get caught 😂😂
LMFAOOO
17:50 Stay at home mum: I chipped in too. Lmao. You're traveling with your UNEMPLOYED husband, and your a stay at home mum and you chip in to pay for the trip also? WITH WHAT??? AND WHY if you're married??? Lmaooooo
Q
Sherlock Holmes they ain't! 😂
Exactly!! SECRET LOVERS! 🤭
I love how the music is louder than the voices.
I can't imagine being at the airport and being asked how I paid for my trip and how much money I make a year. Crazy.
Exactly. Like what about the people who have been saving up in a little jar for years. 😭
And how you met your spouse and have you ever been arrested in your life.
Rude people
That poor chinese guy!!so intrusive
Why? It doesn't take agents long to figure out if you're legit or not by the questions they answer. Questions that are close to your heart. If you don't like it, don't travel.
2 times "you can't afford this trip, strip down this SOB" 15 min later "he has nothing, sorry"
He just wanted to touch the other guy up
this is soo discusting they can do it without any ...
When we were both unemployed for a short period it was the perfect time for a trip. Being unemployed doesn’t always mean you are broke.
Also the benefits system gives heaps of money to afford holidays to the carribean as well as big screen tvs and iphones etc.
Hate me for this comment, but I know long term unemployed people who have done this.
@@onlineamiga unemployment right now is the new employment. fuck off ever day and get paid extra money by the gov. i had the unemployment fraud attempted on me and found out i could make 4 grand more a year if is was unemployed. I'm not trash though and I will earn my wages
It's easier to travel in the US when you are on unemployment. You get a decent check, food stamps, rental assistance. Since you don't have to be at a job, might as well get out and see the world before you go back to the grind.
This is wrong to me. Who can judge them for and when having nice or expensive holidays
A year though where you don’t work and the other person is a stay at home mum, also doesn’t work. Nah, no way in hell they could afford that holiday. Look at the state of them
The outrageous amount of TAX on cigarettes' is abusive, here... the UK is one BIG 'fine' factory!
Don't smoke then
the one carton limit is one of the most hilarious bullshits i ever heard lol
Is it just me or does anyone else get triggered when they start harassing people over carrying cash? It’s legal to go with under 10k in cash undeclared so why is this guy even being questioned?

@@derekclobes the UK is f*cked regardless

It makes for boring tv. People love watching others' misfortune.
@@Tyrosine0910 I know I do!
ua-cam.com/video/6LHhWoJKp-Q/v-deo.html
Because it's their jobs to find drugs and contraband. Pretty simple. They never make a bust they will be let go trust me. So many people come through airports everyday that don't get caught.
Unfortunate! If all those fifty 50 Colonial nations have been able to thoroughly check Colonizer Anglo British coming into their nations through thy strictly control gates, there wouldn't be a centuries-long notorious global Colonialism and suffering of tens of millions of people worldwide. Just saying. 😔
£58 billion in U.K. taxes is avoided legally every year thanks to Brexit. But save for a holiday and you are in trouble.
Purposely act nervous so others can get through with the goods
Customs officer: 'your're 600 over your baccy limit, so I'm going to seize your house and your children'.
Eightiesboy 🤪😂😂
I dunno - he had 30,000+ cigarettes - with a value of maybe £15,000. Seizing his £2k car for a search seems appropriate
@@searcherfortruthlayton1665 Seizing the car is a big stretch. It would be different if they were stopped by the customs on the road. These customs deliberately wait until they load the luggage to the car, with intention to seize it. It's overuse the power!
@@skoluba I hear ya, but I couldn't care less if smugglers lose everything. Hes denying revenue which is spent on the NHS, roads, police, and child services etc. Dont smuggle, dont worry about losing your car. Imagine how many times they've got away with it before and made 10's of thousands without paying tax - and no doubt claiming benefits from the same tax system they've been stealing from.
@@searcherfortruthlayton1665 I agree 100% with you. I just tried to make a point in the matter of principle. All it looked like it was a smuggling trip. Such people deserve punishment!
"A holiday to celebrate been unemployed" said no one ever! That dude was just throwing shade for the man not been in work. When in reality he knows nothing about his situation.
They aren't there to make you feel good about your choices in life, they're there to make sure you aren't breaking any laws.
@@ajshdhenskaka
Yes and they're not meant to make you feel bad either. Do his job and keep opinions to himself. He says he was made redundant so usually that's a payout, and he's questioning how he can afford it. The bloke may have worked hard all his life putting money away in a savings account.
@@Lamebred. agreed
When I wasn't working, I had a ton of money saved up, so I decided to take a few trips around the world before getting back into a job.
I definitely took a vacation when I lost my job. It was the first time I'd ever had time to myself, what else was I going to do while I waited for a new job?
No rubber boats were harmed in the making of this show.
Honestly it just looks like for the most part they're harassing harmless people.

@G Kab Maybe because they're harmful to health - just a guess!
@G Kab There's often very few checks during the manufacturing process in the countries that produce them cheaply. Selling them at a discount would also provide a monetary incentive for airlines to perform illegal seizures.
It annoys me to see these officers asking people why they are carrying a few thousand pounds. The UK gov website states you can bring in up to 9,000 pounds WITHOUT having to declare it. Its none of their business!!!
They want everyone using bank cards and not carrying cash ..
i always use cash when i can.
Cash is king !!!!
Rick Menlove have you ever heard of money laundering?
@@sharonmontano4924 There are sophisticated ways of laundering money, this is not one of those. Officers should mind their own business.

love going through customs and pissing them off after going all over the planet and having stayed in top hotels and telling them i'm a factory worker i drag out telling them i've won lotto
If the officer told me he was taking me for a "rubdown", I probably would have replied--"Thank you, I'm flattered, but I'm straight."
Honestly, I am always nervous at the airport. The way the TSA talks to people is nerve wracking. Being anxious should not be looked at as a sign of guilt.
Yeah it is
This right here 😂
ive been unwell at the airport and with the shakes, only because I got a flu bug before I left and was on the way to recovery, I was nervous as I thought they would pull me up, not something you need when all you want to do is go home. I wasnt pulled up, perhaps I am just too honest. I have to say most of the border control and customs are pretty good. Only once did I come up to a nasty customs female, there is always one that makes sure everyone has a bad day.
I have HORRIBLE anxiety when I’m in crowded/busy places, in public in general, traveling, etc so watching these makes me terrified to travel outside the country.
Has nothing to do with guilt. It’s a sign that they should be given further attention.
the locked bag was a decoy, a huge shipment went through right then lol
The couple were a distraction.
you should have added "pilot twist“
@@lamo1420xD What did the pilot have to do with it? was he/she in on the smuggling?

The next Grand Theft Auto game needs to have UK Customs as the protagonists.
There are simply no better thieves.
“Rub down.” Could they just say “frisk” instead? lol
"how do you afford a holiday like that if you're unemployed"... They look nearing retirement age. How is it so surprising they can afford nice holidays? Investments and savings can easily get you "nice" holidays when you're 60.
They look 30-40! Early retirement I guess.
@@tonibauer2949 jealous because you can't manage your money!
Aquil Hall Huh? Where did I ever indicate jealousy or resentment? I am all for early retirement if one can afford it. I merely made a comment and you must be the one with an issue as you read something into it that wasn’t there at all. Not many people can retire before forty, but if they can, go for it!

SO ABSOLUTELY.......THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY, FOLLOWING THE POLICY/PROCEDURES....DUTIES, ASSIGNED THEIR EMPLOYMENT.........👮⛓
@@LizDaWiz I beg to differ. They are overstepping their assigned duties.
Lol leave the harassment part aside. I’m sure this is a staged drama.. by the makers of the show. How can someone be so silly to pack a suitcase full of cigs..in this modern age if scanners and sniffer dogs.
@@PankajMutha You would be surprised on just how stupid some individuals are.

@@evelyndunham5135I'm so happy I don't live in a country where I have to fear being audited at the airport because a glorified security guard thinks I'm carrying too much money even if it's below the legal limit.
@@evelyndunham5135nothing to do with the airport
There's another ep where the customs agents were so disappointed that the passenger could prove the money was her's and legitimate.
He's not declaring his income to inland revenue hence the suspicion
It seems the “inspectors” have never heard of a saving up money to spend it as you want later.
KonaFocus they’re all shopaholics lol
...Or receiving inheritance money!
Or it seems that the passengers are ignorant of the law, thinking they are exempt to the rules
They don't get paid enough to have experienced savings.
Maybe if you took an account statement along with you, you would then save evidence of your savings and where the money came from
Last time I was at the airport, I got randomly swabbed. I wasn't carrying anything and they ovbs didn't find anything but I was still shaking 😂
One tine I came back through Heathrow airport and I had brought more wine back than I was allowed "only a couple more bottles" so being an honest guy I went through the "I have something to declare channel" I waited about 20 mins before I was spotted and the guy seemed shocked that I was there. It seems that every one of the staff was in the "nothing to declare channel" Anyway the guy didn't check anything and let me out with my extra wine! (sometimes it pays to be a little more truthful)
Most people get nervous when questioned by the authorities that is such a lame excuse they use to question or search you more
That’s what I thought too, none of their business how I could Vaca even without a job. Why can they ask me how much money I have let alone what is make a month.

@@onlineamiga back in the 80s i lived in a socialist country, everything was scarce so on those rare times we went to the UK we would stock up on Cadbury's chocolate of all things. Dad would put a few bars of the cheapest ones on top of the clothes in the luggage, with the rest hidden below. Obviously the customs guy would stop us and he would glance at my father when opening the luggage and quickly pocket the exposed chocolate and then let us through customs without a single word.
They should not be able to question people who speak a different language without translator cuz they're basically incriminating themselves and making themselves seem more suspicious cuz they don't understand
They aren't cautioned so just getting information to see what to do.
I doubt there are translators waiting around for every possible language being spoken at an international airport.
In one other episode, they ask foreigners if they comprehend English or if they required an interpreter and there's a UK translator hotline for police/govt agencies for just such an occasion.
He understood what she said acting like you don’t understand is a very old trick.

Wow I can’t believe the Chinese guy at the end was hassled so much for having a couple of thousand pounds with him. Crazy.
Totally nuts. On holiday that is walkaround money. What a fuss.
I think they weren't fussing because of the amount of money. Its because they think he wasn't paying taxes on his earnings. If he gets the cash out of the country then the Government cannot get their tax revenue on it. Its the same logic as stopping the people bringing in cigarettes (they aren't paying tax on them) but in reverse.
Having the money isn’t an issue. Not declaring it is (if the total exceeds a certain amount), because the suspicion is that large sums of cash that a person has purposefully hidden might be linked to crime.
@@tallgrasslanestitches6635 Thats wrong. He didnt need to declare the amount he had as it was low. But the cash set off the dog and whilst they were investigating they think he wasnt paying taxes. The amount was fine and didnt need to be declared.
Basically, you are not allowed to be have no money and you are not allowed to have too much money. £3000 pounds is not that much. Having said that millions of people around the world under declare their income!
"Fortunate to be allowed to leave the country with his cash." His own money??? Why shouldn't he be allowed?

One country I used to live in was Turkey. I used to return to Dublin for holidays. One year, I had a suitcase inside another suitcase. Well, I
was going to do some shopping (not ciggies or drink, as I do not use either) but clothes etc. The faces of the Turkish Customs men at Bodrum Airport was hilarious. My big case went back and forth through on the conveyor belt. Until I explained, "me go shopping in Dublin for clothes etc" they just laughed and nodded. I wanted clothes not copies, even though their copies of clothes can be lovely. I was a biggish woman at that time so...
It did give us all a laugh at the time.

I have experienced LHR Customs as very efficient, but perhaps too curious. They X-rayed my cabin bag and asked me to open it. "There is something in your bag we don't understand." I answered, "it's a Bavarian beer mug with a metal lid, it's a present for my hosts" and showed them the mug. "Just a moment, what's that cloth inside the mug?" - Look, it's a T-shirt!" - "Have a nice flight!" After this control I was very sure that they also would have detected a bomb.
"I need my car" well should have thought about that before hand before being an accessory to crime.
They make them carry their own siezed bags. "These are now in our custody, but you carry them"
If bags are seized, then the passenger shouldn't be carrying them
ua-cam.com/video/6LHhWoJKp-Q/v-deo.html
I wouldn’t carry a fucking thing
If I visit the UK. I will act nervous and when the customs agents inspect my suitcase. It will be full of hand lotion and a flesh light 😂
that's when they will take you in for an externded "rub down"" .. those officers look like they get off on fondling strangers
excellent
carry on
I think I will not remember my name or house address or where I am if any officer talks to me. Probably I should not visit the country.
Lmfao the illegal cigarettes is hilarious to me. 😂😂😂
that officer has definitely done "a bit of charlie"
It sickens me to hear these custom agents voice disappointment when they come across people who are not drug smugglers and in fact are telling the truth about their travels.
Yep...You can definitely feel the power trip these agents are on...
Right. I was feeling the same way.
Another way to look at it - you know 100 people will be smuggling today in front of your very eyes. How many of them do you want to catch?
@@yadusolparterre all of them, BUT.... dont have to be a prick about it! If you cant act professional, then just practice saying.. "Would you like fries with that" ?
You say this until someone you know dies of an overdose.
" Laws say you must admit you carry anything OVER 10k" but security will question everyone with over 1K .. Yet i watched them question people who travel with NO CASH. Where does the harassment end?? seriously.
Are you applying American Constitutional rights to the UK? The UK and EU don't have a Constitution, just a bunch of laws and arbitrary rulers.
If you come on a holiday visa with no cash how are they supposed to live and if they have an accident or need medical care who will pay for it? People who do that are really looking to work.
@@geoffkeen8389 or have a credit card?
The voice is so high and clear when they speak on people that are guilty of smuggling but when they are wrong there voices below low and quiet as if they are disappointed! This is no longer a job for them this has become a blame game
“Despite their erratic behavior…” what erratic behavior?! 😂
That's interesting that they are allowed to seize the cigarettes after they have left the airport.
They may. They are no police, they are customs. Its a matter of tax control.
Well technically the airport parking lot is still airport property
Bullshit if you ask me
@@katiedevore7260 we didn't
I guess the parking is considered the airport property
Oh cmon, so cruel to let them walk out of airport making them think they got away with a large haul of cigarettes 🤣
Looks like they waited for them to be loaded into the car just so they could seize it.
seems like a good idea to me, got the driver involved as well
They waited so they could find out if there were more people involved. It could have been a large group of smugglers and not just a couple of uninformed people.
Yea I know why they did that, I’m just saying from smugglers point of view it sucks to be played like that.
I like how they intentionally wait until the suitcases are in the car just so they can seize the car.
I remember once I asked for 200 cigarettes & the store sold me 400 by mistake & I didn’t notice until I got on the aeroplane. I decided to go straight to “Goods to Declare” & explained the situation. They told me I could either pay the VAT or they could just take 200 & leave me with 200. I chose for them to take 200 but they told me I did the right thing declaring as it meant no fine & no punishment. If I got searched in the other channel I would have been fined & probably got a HR meeting, I’m cabin crew & follow customs rules to the letter.
i was detained and placed under house arrest in Vancouver, BC back in 1985. Reason ...the company I was to work for in Canada didn't meet me at the border with my required work papers ( I live in Tennessee). Iwas taken to a holding ares and held 14 hours . I told the Immigration officer who was responsible for me, to hold me as long as he wished. as the clause in my contract required the contractor to pay me $75.00 Per hour for any delays thru no fault of my own, in addition to the base contract amt ! Picked up a cool , easy relaxing $1050.00 EXTRA !
7:07 They're just very heavy smokers. Probably a few hundred packs a day. Before I quit, I was burning through at least 600 to 700 packs a day
🤣🤣🤣
Wow its amazing that you're still alive and not succumbed to lung cancer
They were so gutted that unemployed couple didn’t have anything on them. So basically if you’re unemployed don’t take a holiday and come back to the Uk as you’ll have a body and bag search. They were treated so badly.
@Evil Jester Stfu.
16:16 the customs officer is wearing a solid gold rolex.
The one guy wearing a shirt that says “Criminal”. Lol
"He knew they had cigarettes in the bags becasue he steeped back and was like 'whoa this has nothing to do with me.'." - Really? You do not think it could be that 4-5 border enforcement agents were running at the group so that was why he knew there was an issue and not necessarily he knew there were cigarettes in the bags? What dubber logic that guy has. Granted he may have known but the fact he wanted to distance himself from people who are getting busted for something does not make him an accomplice and it certainly does not point to him knowing exactly what was in the bag or even that he knew ahead that there was something wrong.
@SomethingReallyStrange - 100% agree that is the same thing I thought of as well (about what if I were picking up a friend or family member and had no idea). Also the only reason they got to the car was the security let them... so kinda seemed even more like they baited them to get the car too (but yeah maybe they had a good reason for it... but it just didn't seem so as they seemed similar to all of the other cigarette smugglers).
@SomethingReallyStrange Imagine if it was just an Uber driver
Game Loot I totally agree. I watched another one of these programmes were a British couple were stopped with 36 thousand cigarettes. The officers were really polite and joking with them. Let them go without a warning. These people here were treated badly.
If they went into a Taxi, would they have seized that as well?
All that fuss for tobacco
Seizing the car was a little much even my cat thinks so.

Before we moved to Spain we used to bring the maximum backy in to the uk but there was sod all they could do, even though there were 5 adults.. and they hated it !
If you are innocent don't be scared,
I have not been stopped ever at ANY airport.
I have been stopped because they thought I was smuggling drugs (I was 15 at the time) turns out it was my medicine lmao
These are not elite officers. I disagree strongly with their approaches.
Marcin Jechorek lmao yeah sure ok that’s why they apologised and I didn’t go to jail 😂
Just cuz there nervous doesn’t mean there smuggling anything you have to think people might have anxiety issues 🙄
Good point, Katie. I have only flown once, from Illinois to California. I was very nervous, and did not want to fly. I was not impressed with anything, until i arrived back in Chicago. That skyline was magnificent.
I was nervous once when my baggage got searched and the baggage lock broke in SFO, almost missed my flight too lol
Crap. Yes they might and they might not. Most innocent people aren't, you dolt.
@@aislingsibeallyons3416 Since you aren’t leaving your bed, I doubt any airport customs personnel would jump to conclusions about you
@@aislingsibeallyons3416 Anxiety? How do go to the bathroom if you don't leave your bed?
According to these customs agents, you're not supposed to go on holiday if they think you are poor, unemployed, retired, carry a suitcase, wear clothes and have money on you. And you certainly are suspicious if you are carrying cash to spend on that holiday....how intrusive, disrespectful, interfering, harassing and time wasting can they be to travelers, who are already stressed by travel....
i agree 110% with you
of decades of travelling Ive done the UK immigration have been the most intrusive and irrational . And that's not even touching on the horrendous way they treated my teenage daughter.
£3k are they kidding! That is not a large amount of cash ffs. It would be interesting to know the success rate of their harassment
That is a huge amount of cash -- this program is probably about ten years old, so £3000 would have been about two months' take-home pay for the average British worker. Why would anybody want to have that much cash on them? In general and, specifically, in an airport? I'm 45 years old, earning comfortably more than the median wage. I have once, in my entire life, carried about £800 in cash, and the second-highest amount I've ever had on me is probably less than £250.
An unemployed couple who have just returned from an expensive vacation with no contraband and valid passports, arouses the suspicion of customs? What's wrong with that picture?
love that this show still slanders these people even after they were found to be innocent.
“Keys?”
“Excuse me?”
