(Almost) everyone has a price. Show a suitcase containing $5 mil to a border agent making $90k a year, and he'll let you pass 10 tons of cocaine...and maybe even ask his wife to sleep with you (if you request it). Humans and all...



I know I would (letting the 10 tons pass)


That would be a terrible mistake (beyond the current crime). Once you've allowed the one shipment, you'll possibly be forced to allow or commit much more, under threat of exposure.


GP said they would do it, not that it wouldn’t be a mistake.


Border Agents make 90K a year? I'd think more like 60K.


CBP officers are public servants so their salary is public information: https://www.cbp.gov/careers/frontline-careers/cbpo/pay-benef...

$90K for a non-entry level CBP officer is reasonable.
