  • AIRPORT SECURITY: PERU

DESCRIPTION

In this season, we land at Jorge Chavez International Airport, Lima, Peru - Peru's largest airport and a major Latin American hub.  The biggest security challenge here: cocaine trafficking.  And anti-narcotics police work 24/7 to bust the latest ingenious scheme: ingested capsules, drug-infused clothes, hidden compartments, and much more.   Watch the action firsthand through exclusive access to some of the airport's most restricted areas.
