    when the thinking comes that officers...... commission .......... involvement is there then the person who comments also does the same. He might have experienced in other ways of stealing items and may be given tip off by his own friend or opponent. We should always respect ones post and then comment . NOT EVERYONE IS CORRUPT. SINCERITY AND HONESTY ALWAYS EXIST. WE SHOULD NOT BE GREEDY FOR MONEY AND WEALTH.Instead of being greedy for money it would be better for us to be “greedy” in a good sense for godliness and God's kingdom.

    If customs don't get Tipp off they cant find nor catch anything. Someone doesn't get a cut form the business then the informer is ready to give a tip off because he gets a % of commission when he gives tip off . Even some officers are involved in this smuggling operations .. Everything is understanding in sharing the commission
