About this title

Synopsis

The author was a customs officer for many years, working his way up through the hierarchy from working in the field to, at the end, management. He served in air operations, postal customs, pornography, smuggling, organized crime operations, counterterrorism, security, and guns.When he was working in the field, Risk had many odd and amusing experiences with travellers. One woman tried to smuggle a baby in a gym bag. Someone else had cocaine dissolved in a bottle of rum. Or a mother with a baby in a carriage has filled the baby’s diaper full of hash. And it goes on and on . . . Risk has a great many of these fascinating vignettes—along with the endless variety of frustrations caused by the policymakers in Ottawa.
