I saw this show tonight in AKL. I think it's called Border Security. Caught two German girls bringing in 5k of xtc each. The other girl was dumb enough to wait for her friend that was getting the full search, so got re-screened, another 5 kilos of xts found, and 8 years in the clink.

The funniest part was the Chinese lady who threw her apples at the custom lady when she was trying to confiscate them.

I was behind another FT'er coming into AKL, and the customs official could not understand why they were only coming in for 18 hours and going right back to SYD. It's often a waste to even try and explain it!
