baggage and reasons for travel. (Be suspicious of passengers arriving
with only light baggage containing few, if any, articles of persona
nature).
For all passengers: always check baggage for concealments.
Don’t overlook the commonplace. Carry out a Personal Search in case
suspicion still exists.
The examination of baggage can be separated into two clearly
defined areas: the contents and the container.
Remove the contents carefully and systematically. Examine individual items as necessary during the process. Separate any items
worthy of closer attention and place them out of the passenger’s reach.
To facilitate the examination you should make full use of the equip-
ment at your disposal. When using tools to examine the contents, exercise care to minimize damage.
POINTS TO REMEMBER
‒ Adopt a positive approach. You must believe that if there are
goods concealed, you will find them.
‒ You are a representative of this department in the public eye.
At all times act with courtesy and diplomacy.
‒ Do not be drawn into arguments. Stay calm however provoked.
‒ Do not hesitate to seek assistance or advice from colleagues.

(Schengen being a place in Luxembourg) on the gradual abolition
of checks at their common borders. In 1990 the Convention imple-
menting the Schengen Agreement was signed. Its key points relate
to measures designed to create a common area of security and justice.
Citizens can cross the internal borders of the implementing coun-
tries at any point without checks. A visitor's or business visa allows the
holder to stay up to 90 days per six-month period. There is a special

Draper. He always used to arrive at the border early in the morning in
a big truck. The truck was always empty. After a while Sam became
suspicious. He often used to search the truck, but never found
anything. One day he asked Draper about his job. Draper laughed and
said: “I am a smuggler”.

was sitting by the pool and saw Draper drinking champagne. Sam
walked over to him.

arriving from Kinshasa (Democratic Republic of Congo).

Alerted by the weight of the luggage that was declared as con-
taining wooden craft, the team stopped the passenger and started
checking his luggage. The wooden statue appeared to be of very crude
craftsmanship and it was decided to X-ray it. The X-ray revealed that
the statue contained hundreds of small ivory statues.
The passenger declared that he was not aware of deception and
