These border officers aren't exactly friendly. I was in border between Canada and US. The dude says your car needs to be searched I go in and sit inside for 2 hours. They check my passport and give it back without saying the word. I asked "Can I go". The dude responded "if you ask me that I'm detaining you". After that point I said I'm heading back to Canada. The dude looked stunned. I don't need attitude, just need a decent service and these bozos cannot even provide that.

It's not in their power to open every crate posible... but when they do find something they are happy because they have prevented a large amount of drugs from crossing the border. Sure, they won't be able to confiscate most, but it's a good day when they do. Also, the 1 in 8 thing is smart, to u it sounds dumb but as a smuggler u have a 1/8 chance of getting caught EVERY single time u attempt to smuggle something.
