Aussie customs for the trifecta

Warning: Spoilers
Our first line of defence confiscates an arsenal of martial arts weaponry, then sends a Korean imposter home for using his brother's passport to attempt re-entry after he was previously placed on an exclusion order for a previous eight year (!) VISA overstay.

But these pale by comparison with the South African cocaine smuggler whose Brazilian statues are more than just ornaments destined for the mantelpiece. Watching 'Paul' try to explain that he didn't pack his luggage and has no idea how the toot statues made their way therein is cringe-worthy and just the kind of simmering tension for which BSA is deservedly renowned.

The cancellation of the overstayer's VISA is cold, clinical and executed with ruthless efficiency, whilst narrator Grant Bowler's helpful case summary let us know that the traveler's family are also currently overstaying illegally - news which will no doubt whet the appetites of field agents tasked with their subsequent removal.

All in all it's a productive day at the office with plenty of revenue raised, and what appeared to be a significant illicit drug importation thwarted thanks to the alertness and dedication of our stoic sentries and their no-nonsense enforcement techniques. And if all that isn't plenty enough, rugby fans will relish the brief incidental appearance of several ACT Brumbies players of the era (Gregan, Larkham) as they pass through immigration - certified BSA gold.
