Откройте Ваш чемодан
На мою просьбу рассказать о делах таможни последних месяцев начальник таможни столичного аэропорта Шереметьево предложил мне встать на дежурство к досмотровому окну. Пограничники проверяют документы пассажиров и, если все в порядке, разрешают им "войти" в нашу страну.
Правда, сразу в Москву не отправишься — нужно выполнить таможенные формальности, обязательные во всех странах мира. Прибывшему к нам пассажиру нужно заполнить декларацию, ответив на несколько вопросов: не ввозятся ли золото, драгоценности, валюта, оружие. Аэропорт связан со всеми континентами мира. Сотни самолетов, тысячи пассажиров и бесчисленное множество чемоданов, портфелей, сумок. Через залы Шереметьевской таможни проходят деловые люди, артисты, спортсмены, туристы... Среди этого огромного потока людей, провозящих контрабанду, — единицы.
Старший инспектор встречает пассажиров. Мне, не посвященному в тонкости таможенного контроля, кажется, что он недостаточно внимателен.
Но вдруг я слышу в его голосе иные нотки:
— Откройте ваш чемодан!
Старший инспектор шепнул мне: "Убежден, что провозится контрабанда" и предложил прибывшему пройти в соседнюю комнату. Через минуту меня пригласили и туда. Из подпоротой подкладки пиджака на стол с мелодичным звоном посыпались золотые монеты с изображением короля Георга V.
— Меня... просили... передать... одному человеку, — невнятно пробормотал пассажир.
Я спросил у инспектора, почему из сотен пассажиров он обратил внимание именно на этого.
-Опыт подсказал, выработалась определенная интуиция.
