If you’re looking for a blend of the bizarre and the unsettling, look no further than Discovery’s “Contraband: Seized at the Border.” This week’s episode, “On the Rocks,” offers the usual mix of oddball discoveries and potential threats, reminding us of the constant vigilance required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents.
One case involves a traveler attempting to enter the U.S. with a rather unusual cargo: a cooler brimming with rat meat. While that certainly raises eyebrows, the true shock comes during a secondary inspection, when agents uncover something far more alarming than questionable cuisine.
In another scenario, border officers eye a traveler carrying more cash than legally allowed. What’s the story behind the extra funds? Is it simple forgetfulness or something more nefarious? “On the Rocks” takes us behind the scenes, detailing the methods agents employ to uncover hidden contraband.
“Contraband: Seized at the Border” might highlight the strange, but it also underscores the crucial work of those protecting U.S. borders. Tune in Monday, March 24th at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Discovery.
