Unlike police officers, customs officers are empowered to search or even strip-search the people they check. A necessary power for fighting against lightweight drug smuggling (cocaine, heroin…), and other kinds of smuggling.
A new way of smuggling: dirty money used to finance criminality, notably terrorist organisations, is often hidden in light vehicles.

India and Bangladesh – The Wall and Fear
India. A Bangladeshi man fishing on the Indian side of the Ichamati River; in the background are brickworks in Bangladesh. If he is found in Bangladeshi waters, he is afraid of being targeted by soldiers with the Border Security Force. As he speaks Bengali and knows the villages on the Indian side of the river, he can easily pretend to be an Indian if he runs into a BSF patrol.
