Border Security - Australia's Frontline

Monday September 8 7:30pm (PG)

There are fears for the health of an Australian returning from Vietnam when Customs officers suspect he is carrying something internally.

The traveller appears nervous at the baggage carousel and his bags reveal clear readings for heroin, however officers can’t track down any narcotics. Things get particularly suspicious when the traveller asks to use the toilet, and soon, when his health appears to be in danger, an ambulance is called.

Also, while a New Zealand man’s family clears immigration without fuss, he is held back to be interviewed. As it turns out, he has a string of criminal convictions to his name, and he becomes agitated when it starts to look like he won’t be joining his wife and kids.

When an Englishman appears agitated and begins swearing loudly while waiting at the baggage carousel, Melbourne Customs officials decide they need to find out the cause of his bizarre behaviour.

The passenger explains he’s enjoyed a few too many in-flight beverages as he is nervous about spending time with his in-laws in Australia. Now jovial, he engages in some amusing banter with the officers. But does he have a good explanation for the traces of narcotics on his belongings.

Outside Sydney, Immigration Compliance Officers investigate a farm where they believe a Chinese woman is living and working illegally. A fugitive who has run from Immigration in the past, they are keen to catch up with her, but when she is located she doesn’t utter a word. However, the son of the farm’s owner says plenty for everyone involved.

SERIES RETURN, ALL-NEW EPISODES
BRAND NEW CASES THAT HAVE FINALLY CLEARED THE COURTS

A suspicious American surfer’s life is in danger when BORDER SECURITY: AUSTRALIA’S FRONTLINE returns with brand new episodes.

Also, a family follows the ‘what not to do’ guide while packing their bags and even officials are shocked at the contents of a package from India.

Like so many others, Rusty hits Australian shores headed straight for our famous surf. But all this American surfie catches is the eye of Sydney’s Immigration officials. He is referred to Customs and just as they start to suspect he is in possession of narcotics, Rusty pops a handful of pills and becomes abusive. Just when you’d think it couldn’t get more dramatic, Rusty’s condition deteriorates, he collapses and paramedics are called.

BORDER SECURITY – AUSTRALIA’S FRONTLINE

7:30pm (PG)

The fight to protect our border continues on BORDER SECURITY - AUSTRALIA’S FRONT LINE. In tonight’s episode, a New Zealand man with a shady past is stopped at the border; customs dig up a treasure chest of trouble; and Customs Officers discover a mystery box which outdates this country.

A New Zealand man travelling with a female friend has been stopped at Sydney Airport. He hasn’t declared any criminal convictions on his passenger card, but Immigration believes he might be hiding a crooked past. Will his big secret stop him entering the country? As well as lying about his criminal convictions, his plane seat has also tested positive for traces of cocaine. He insists he’s not carrying any drugs. So why’s he acting so nervously?

A Quarantine baggage search has just uncovered a suspicious quantity of undeclared jewellery and now Customs is involved. The woman from China claims the goods are all presents for family and friends. Despite the passenger’s denials, it’s clearly a commercial quantity of jewellery. So far, there are holes in her story and she still seems to be hiding something. She’s carrying a credit card in another’s person name which continues to arouse suspicion. Is she telling the truth?
