                    Effective Passenger and Baggage Control

      In dealing with any passenger, the single most important point to establish
is "Why has this passenger travelled?" You should:
    1) Establish reasons for travel.
    2) Examine passport to ascertain previous and current journeys from drug
       production or suspect areas. If the passenger is a frequent traveler -
       establish reasons for frequency of travel.
    3) Examine ticket to ascertain method of payment and whether ticket
       matches the passenger's journey. (Remember: Late booked or cash
       tickets are often used by smugglers.)
All the above should be carried out for all passengers stopped to satisfy you
as to their reasons for traveling. Your basic questions:
    1) Is this all your baggage? Did you pack it yourself?
    2) Do you know what the baggage contains?
    3) Are you carrying any items for anyone else? Are you traveling alone?
    4) Do you know what the Customs allowances are? (Check that the
       passenger
has correct baggage reclaim tags.)

                                  Practical examination
Passenger traveling on business:
   1) Examine any documents in order to verify whether the passenger is
      engaged in legitimate business.
   2) Make sure that documents relate to up-to-date transactions.
Visitors or residents returning from holidays:
   1) Look for gifts, clothing, souvenirs and the usual items you would
      normally expect to find with this type of passenger. These will link
      passengers to the baggage and reasons for travel.
   2) Be suspicious of passengers arriving with only light baggage containing
      few, if any, articles of personal nature.
All passengers:
   1) always check baggage for concealments;
   2) regularly examine articles within the baggage by X-ray and/or opening
      them (e.g. tinned goods, toiletries, cigarette cartons, etc.). Don't overlook
      the commonplace.

                                 Search of person
    Carry out a search of person where suspicion still exists. Points to remember
prior to baggage examination:
   1) Adopt a positive approach. You must believe that if there are goods
       concealed, you will find them.
