"What kind of grades did you get in recess?" � Upon return from eight months abroad, a convicted sex offender is nabbed at O'Hare airport on an outstanding warrant because he may have failed to register as such.

At Honolulu International Airport viewers will meet one of TSA's Behavioral Detection officers, Sean Weeks-Freeman, who is specially trained in observing body language for clues to suspicious passengers. In New Orleans, ICE agents head out on counterfeiting raids of a store and a flea market selling false goods, and a Coast Guard pilot remembers the heartbreaking rescues of her first week at work, during Hurricane Katrina. At the Buffalo, New York port of entry, a young Canadian woman who describes herself as a model and dancer is questioned -- is she going to New York City to visit friends or to drum up work?
