Hm. Most places, that's actually the other way around.
This bit:
Border guards did not inspect the contents of the trucks, which raises suspicions that they contained illicit cargo
Most border crossings I've seen, the more suspicious you look (or ARE), the higher the probability that you get searched; conversely, it's usually the reputable ones, which are actually LESS likely to be smuggling something, that get waved along. Seems fricking backwards to claim their *not* being searched as "proof" that they DO contain suspicious shit... Unless of course it's accepted fact that camel-jockey customs officers are such Untermenschen that they absolutely can't be assumed to follow the same logic in their work as their Western colleagues?
