Have you ever felt uneasy about approaching a customs officer when returning from your dream vacation? Perhaps because you have wrapped and tucked away an empty conch shell you picked up from the shoreline of a beautiful Bahamian beach. Or from your trip back home? Perhaps because deep away in your luggage is your favourite snack, Gala, a sausage roll snack. That tinge of uneasiness you feel is probably the guilt of smuggling. Yes, smuggling. We talk about smuggling in this episode, and as we get to understand smuggling, we realize that what is considered smuggling will depend on the policies of a nation; one nation’s contraband may be another nation’s legitimate good. Smuggling lies in the eyes of the beholder - Hanna Mark.
