Briefing – This is a conversation between Border Security Officer Tony Thompson and Mr. Suharto, who is suspected of attempting to bring illegal drugs into the country. The dialogue begins now.
Officer Tony Thompson: Good evening, sir. May I see your passport and travel documents, please?
Mr. Suharto: Of course, here you go. Is there a problem?
Officer Tony Thompson: Thank you. Well, Mr. Suharto, I couldn’t help but notice your extensive travel history in the past couple of months. You’ve been to 15 different countries and only stayed in each for a few days on average. It’s a bit unusual.
Mr. Suharto: Oh, that? Well, you see, I’ve got a real case of wanderlust, officer. It’s like I’ve got itchy feet that can only be soothed by hitting the open road. I’ve been globetrotting, chasing horizons, and living life out of a suitcase. Call it my way of spreading my wings and getting a taste of different flavours from around the globe. You know what they say, “Travel broadens the mind,” and I couldn’t agree more. It’s like I’m on a cultural treasure hunt, savouring every moment in a new place. It’s all about soaking up the vibes, breaking bread with the locals, and getting a feel for how the world turns.
Officer Tony Thompson: I see, but you do understand that we have a duty to ensure the security of our borders, right? That includes checking travel records and making sure everything is in order.
Mr. Suharto: Well, I believe my private movement records should be just that, private.
Officer Tony Thompson: I understand your concerns, but as part of the Australian Border Force, it’s our job to monitor travel patterns and ensure the safety of our country. Now, if you’re telling the truth about your travels, that’s perfectly fine. However, if you’re not, there could be consequences.
Mr. Suharto: Consequences? What do you mean?
Officer Tony Thompson: If you’re lying or if there’s any suspicion of drug trafficking, we’ll have to contact the police. You could be prosecuted and have to appear in court. Depending on the severity of the crime, you might even face imprisonment.
Mr. Suharto: (Nervous) Imprisonment? I swear I’m not involved in any illegal activities!
Officer Tony Thompson: I hope that’s true, Mr. Suharto. But it’s important to be honest here. Our narcotic screening showed a positive result. Can you explain that?
Mr. Suharto: (Panicking) I… I don’t know. I was set up by someone named Andy. He organised everything. I didn’t know what I was carrying. He threatened me and my family.
Officer Tony Thompson: When you say “carrying,” do you mean you were involved in body packing? Body packing is a highly illegal and dangerous method of smuggling drugs, where individuals ingest or hide narcotics inside their bodies. Even if you were threatened or coerced, knowingly or unknowingly participating in such activities to bring illicit drugs into Australia is considered a serious crime. The consequences can be severe not only for your personal freedom but also for your health. Swallowing or inserting drug-filled packages can lead to life-threatening situations, including drug overdose, intestinal damage, and infection. It’s a dangerous path to be on. Now, do you happen to know where Andy is at the moment.
Mr. Suharto: I don’t know where he is! Please, what’s going to happen to me?
Officer Tony Thompson: Mr. Suharto, in light of the situation, it’s imperative that we move to an interview room. If, during the process, we discover any illicit substances in your possession, we’ll have no choice but to involve the Australian Federal Police. Your full cooperation is essential as we proceed with our investigation.
This is the end of the dialogue.
