I love how the show makes the drug mules act...


when going through security. They show them WIDE EYED, sweating, looking around constantly,argueing,etc. Like if anyone did that, they would surely be picked out. If anyone really acted like that, they deserved to get caught and deserve the punishment.

as you say. Keep in mind, these people are usually novices. There are obviously some that have done it dozens of times and get away with it.

I can't remember the latest occurrences of would-be bombers getting caught in airports, but every time it was because they gave themselves away with their behavior, not because the technology nailed them.

In one of the episodes, the guy mentioned taking valium prior to the flight to calm his nerves.

Going through security and customs is stressful in itself. I can see why they're all on the verge of snapping, knowing how close they are to being busted.

I just nervous just watching the recreation of these things, haha, so ... I can understand how they would be nervous actually doing it!
