Look, we’ve all been there. You’re digging through a suitcase, desperately seeking that misplaced charger, only to unearth a stray sock or a half-eaten granola bar. Embarrassing, sure, but rarely grounds for arrest. The officers on Discovery’s Contraband: Seized at the Airport, however, routinely face far more… stimulating surprises.
In the latest episode, aptly titled “It’s Not Supposed To Be Sticky,” airing Monday, November 11, 2024, at 9/8c, the hunt for illicit substances takes an unexpected turn. While searching for illegal marijuana within a cargo shipment, officers stumbled upon items of a decidedly more personal nature – let’s just say they weren’t travel-sized toiletries.
The incident, which occurred during a routine inspection, underscores the sheer breadth of unusual and illicit items that Homeland Security officers encounter while patrolling the nation’s airports. Contraband: Seized at the Airport offers a glimpse into the operations at five major U.S. airports – San Francisco, Detroit, Newark, Atlanta, and Honolulu – featuring the efforts to intercept everything from narcotics to… well, let’s leave it at “unexpected” for now.
While the exact nature of the lewd discovery is being kept under wraps (presumably in something more substantial than a sandwich bag), viewers can anticipate a blend of procedural drama and the inevitable “what the…” reactions that come with uncovering such peculiar contraband. Whether this sticky situation leads to an arrest or just a lot of red faces is something you’ll have to tune in to find out. One thing’s for sure: it’s a far cry from finding a forgotten tube of toothpaste.
