Weapons and dangerous goods will be scanned but not drugs so that is your responsibility. Dont forget, a lot of countries have the death penalty for drug smuggling.

Interesting that this is the first post in reply to consider what could happen at the 'arrival' end of the trip. I bet when Midnight Express was released, arrivals customs was definitely uppermost in our minds. Now the focus has shifted to other threats.
Bealine's comments are (as always) interesting. I am a bit surprised that there is not a Standard Operating Procedure for such an eventuality; it sounds a bit like the agent has some discretion.
I would never do it for anyone, except my immediate family (spouse, 2 kids in school).
