    These small indegenious flies who operate independently get caught for using primitive methods and no backing up. The big fishes who smuggle have no issues. This mafia has the whole airport and airline staff at their disposal to go thru without a hassle. Right from the point of origin to the final destination or receipient, its fully and clearly organized. No wonder some cabin crews have assets of crores when they are paid in few thousands by the airline.

    Does more amount of gold passes even after noticing and only a small amount is caught just to show we are working and strickt? Why would someone get gold even after knowing they will be caught.
