0:00.0	What's a dark, secret practice in your profession?
0:04.0	Have you ever started filling out a form for a quote on something, like an insurance website
0:09.0	or literally anything online, and then changed your mind and said,
0:12.0	No, I don't want to give them my personal information, and then abandoned the form before pressing submit?

1:12.3	actually screen everything coming in. I'm oversimplifying here, but CBP basically works on the honor
1:18.0	system. You file an entry saying what the shipman's is and they just take your word for it and release it.
1:23.7	This happens hundreds of thousands of times a day. Maybe at best customs could screen three to
