L11(1)：Not guilty

Customs Officersare quite tolerant these days, but they can still stop you when you are going throughthe Green Channel and have nothing to declare. Even really honest people areoften made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the otherhand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred goldwatches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned from abroad recently, aparticularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.

'Have you anythingto declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye. 'No', I answered confidently.

'Would you mindunlocking this suitcase please?' 'Not at all,' I answered.

The Officer wentthrough the case with great care. All the thing I had packed so carefully weresoon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the caseagain. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face light up. He had spotted a tinybottle at the bottom of my case and he pounced on it with delight.
