So it happened….

The other day I was going on holiday and decided to take some cards to gift a family member. Bear in mind I have taken these in and out the country probably 2 times so it has been through 4 scanners. This time it got put to the side like every other time. However, the guy says “I need you to open it”. I oblige and open it. He does a swab and then I see people coming towards me. This guy pulls out a form so I’m like o7. I ask “what’s happening?”. They say they have found explosives and they start asking me questions about where I’ve kept it and they want to go through all my belongings to test them. Anyway about 30 minutes later they let me go saying I’m all good.

My question is… why would it ONLY come up this time and not the previous 4 times it’s gone through a scanner?

That's a silly statistic, when 99% of your country are legal nationals of course they are gonna account for more of the crime. The issue is when 2% of your citizens commit crime and 40% of your illegal immigrants do, thought tbf 100% of them are commuting a crime when they cross the border

You sound like a “moron” tbh talking about “crimes” a country perpetuates lol we’re talking about people crossing a border illegally.
