New CBP Border Security TV Show. Which Channel?
Found these shows on Youtube and they seem to be fairly new (one episode shows a traveler's document dated in 2015). They are called Border Security: America's Front Line. The producers are the same as those that did the ones for the CBSA. But since they cancelled the CBSA versions due to privacy violations, they started to work on a CBP version. The episodes have aired on Global TV, a Canadian Channel. I have thus far not found any airing on any domestic channels. In the past there was Homeland Security USA that aired on ABC.
Has anyone found the new episodes on a domestic network?
Locations of the filming thus far:
JFK
DTW
ORD
Ambassador Bridge (MI/ON)
Blue Water Bridge (MI/ON)
Peace Bridge (NY/ON)
Pacific Hwy Crossing (WA/BC)

I remember they had a show about the CBP (and occasionally even TSA) a while back. Yep, I found it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_Security_USA It is from 2009. I guess I should have read the original post more carefully to avoid redundancy ;-)
I like this kind of shows, so looking forward to it.

Thanks. "To Catch a Smuggler" on Nat Geo was a good show. You can find the old episodes on, I don't know, iTunes I think.
Then of course there's "Border Wars," but I don't like that one as much.

"To Catch a Smuggler" focused on airport CBP officers. Mostly at JFK if I recall. It was interesting to see footage of secondary inspection and how they get people caught with drugs to confess by acting like "good cops" and saying "You're just the little fish, we don't care about you, tell us who gave you the drugs and we'll help you. Then the smuggler confesses that yes, he knew he was carrying drugs, and the officers all high five each other for getting an air tight prosecutable case.
I was led to believe from the show, perhaps erroneously, that if drugs are found in someone's checked luggage and that person says nothing, the case may not be prosecuted.

"Might not be prosecuted" is the correct way to state that, which is quite different from "may not." All depends on the facts of each individual case. Prosecutors have very wide latitude in the exercise of their discretion; just ask a former secretary of state how that worked for her....
