The security check process for checked luggage at the airport is different from the security check process for carry-on luggage.
Carry-on baggage is carried by the guest through the security check, while checked baggage is transferred to a special place for security check via a conveyor belt after completing the check-in and check-in procedures.
At this time, Ma Lan still had no idea what was going to happen next.
After she checked in both suitcases, she took her boarding pass and headed to the security checkpoint.
The woman who was watching her nearby felt relieved and immediately stood up and walked out of the airport after seeing her check-in and her suitcase being sent away by the conveyor belt.
Carrying her Hermès, Ma Lan leisurely walked to the VIP security check channel. After showing her first-class boarding pass, she immediately enjoyed the warm service of the staff.
While others were still waiting in long lines for security check, Ma Lan quickly completed the security check and then found a nearby first-class lounge to rest.
At the same time, the two suitcases she checked were waiting in line to pass through the airport's security check machine one by one.
During this process, if no abnormalities are found, the luggage will be released directly and put on the passenger's flight. Once any abnormalities are found in the luggage, customs border inspectors will immediately unpack and inspect the luggage.
Generally speaking, contraband that has been carefully concealed is basically very concealable. In addition, leaving the country is far less risky than entering the country, so this link is relatively relaxed. Criminals at least have
There is a 50% chance of winning and successfully passing the exit security check.
However, the entry security check after landing will be much stricter, because many countries and regions have strict entry standards, and some countries do not even allow any fresh fruit to be carried, even if the fruit brought by the passengers on the plane is not finished when they land.
If there is an apple left, and it is discovered by the border inspection, a heavy fine will be imposed.
Therefore, the biggest test is actually the entry process.
At this stage, the chance of winning will plummet to only about 30%.
Combined with the 50% in the first stage, the approximate overall pass rate is actually around 15%.
Precisely because the success rate is very low, the price of this new type of contraband in East Asia is surprisingly high, with a single gram selling for more than two thousand U.S. dollars. It is an exclusive product for the super rich.
As long as Ma Lan can successfully land on Hong Kong Island this time and pass the border inspection, the contraband she is carrying will be worth more than 10 million US dollars.
At this time, Ma Lan was sitting in the luxurious first-class lounge, drinking coffee, taking photos and posting on Moments.
Her caption read: "I'm about to leave for home, but I'm still a little bit reluctant to let go. My friend's private jet is being maintained by Gulfstream. I have no choice but to make myself miserable and take a first-class seat on an ordinary civil airliner."
After editing her circle of friends, she did not forget to specifically block Ye Chen, Xiao Churan and Xiao Changkun.
After sending the message to Moments, she leisurely sent a video call to Xiao Churan.
At this time, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan had already driven away from New York and began to return to Providence.
Xiao Churan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, connected to the video sent by his mother and asked: "Mom, have you boarded the plane?"
"Not yet." Ma Lan said with a smile: "I guess it will take a while to board the plane. I'm in the first-class lounge!"
Xiao Churan reminded: "Then you must pay attention to the time and don't affect boarding. Boarding starts half an hour before departure time. Get there early to avoid being late and rushing on your way."
Ma Lan said disdainfully: "Tch, what are you afraid of? I'm a distinguished first-class passenger. If I hadn't boarded the plane, he wouldn't have dared to take off if I gave him the courage. Besides, they would definitely call my name through the radio.
Remind me to board the plane. It won’t be too late to leave by then.”
Xiao Churan said helplessly: "Mom, it can be solved in an orderly manner ten or twenty minutes in advance, why do you want to cause trouble to others?"
Ma Lan hummed and said, "Silly girl, you know we spent this much money on our air ticket? Otherwise, why would our air ticket be several times more expensive than others? It's all right to cause him trouble."
