The U.S.-Mexico border is a hotbed of activity, and not all of it is legal. Discovery’s “Contraband: Seized at the Border” returns this Monday with a look at the strange, surprising, and sometimes downright silly things people try to sneak into the country. “You’ve Guac to Be Kidding Me,” airing at 9:00 PM ET, focuses on both seasoned smugglers and clueless tourists, all attempting to bypass U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
From the bizarre to the boozy, this episode takes a walk on the wild side of border security. Expect to see officers encounter everything from illicit produce to tipsy travelers stumbling back from a tequila-fueled afternoon in Mexico. Amidst the chaos, a rookie officer gets a chance to shine, making a record-breaking discovery that starts with a traveler’s fishy story.
For those who enjoy a mix of law enforcement action and head-shaking disbelief, “Contraband: Seized at the Border” delivers. It’s a front-row seat to the ongoing cat-and-mouse game between CBP officers and those trying to bring something a little extra across the border.
