To Catch a Smuggler

I have a lot of favorite CBP agents, but Agent Brito is the best and rocks. I watch the show weekly and always hope to catch Agent Brito. It makes me wish I was young enough to do the job, especially if I could work with her. Keep doing a fabulous job Agent Brito. You help keep us all safer. All the other agents help too. 😊 I would sincerely like to meet you some day. My AF Veteran husband is originally from New England and we visit as often as possible. We'd only be a hop and a jump from your airport. I may have to do all of the next road trip planning so I can meet you. I know my husband all too well after 30 years, and I wouldn't put it past him to set up a joke with you just to see me put in cuffs. 😄 To quote you from episode S1 Ep6 that I'm watching this evening, "I can be very nice until I find something wrong." Then you handcuffed a man that had cans filled with cocaine instead of soup. You very good at your job, and smooth.

All of you stay safe, and thank you so much for your service and all you do.

This Fontana guy really thought he had the south African guy nailed. Fontana would have been the 1st to crucify someone back in those days. He makes Craig and DayDay look legit. Dude was licking his chops thinking that the traveler was gonna drop the pallets. And Nothing. What a waste of time. But I'm glad the show played it through, even if it was a slow day for smuggling. Fontana needs better training, maybe the Dog could hold a seminar,and Fontana be required to attend, complete with an exam that he must score a minimum of eighty per cent. I started reporting for the traveler after five minutes of this guy.

I was watching an episode with my 96 y/o mother because she likes the show. This particular episide was from JFK. They had security footage of the baggage handler steering 4 huge suitcases of drugs through the airport. Never intercepted them to install tracking devices so that they could locate the final destination. It's no wonder that we don't catch drig dealers in this country. They seem to be quick to bust the low and lower level mules but hesitate to take the proper route to catch either the originator of the drug shipment or the end destination of the shipment. With today's technology, it seems ridiculous that this country's law enforcement can't crack a smuggling ring if their life depended on it.

I want to see more dog teams. The Officer's are doing a great job under difficult conditions. People lie and bring they shouldn't. Some of the officers could be a little more courteous but some are absolutely wonderful and make it a little easier for cranky travelers. Nice show but add more dog teams please!

That is a man who you know has worked hard to get where he is. I love this guy!

As a frequent traveler, I will say that it is frightening whenever there is a chance of getting "pulled aside." Basic psychology will tell you that a passenger will take emotional cues from the Officers. They have no "bed side manner. This needs to be worked on. Trust me, post 9-11, my people were the poster children for DHS.

Still love me some Agent Walter, though!!
