Great catch!
I would say roughly only 1/3 of smugglers at the border actually get caught. It is getting better since the CBSA was formed and isn't under the control of the Canada Revenue Agency anymore. There are still a lot of tax driven Officers on the job though, but they are being replaced by cop-minded Officers now. A bit less friendly, but they are goal oriented and get results like this. Good job Officers.
Guys like Bjorn are the reason that Border Officers need to be armed. That's a dangerous and scary situation to be in when you're armed, let alone not equipped with the tools to do your job.
