Airport Contraband Key Features

Tools for finding contraband

Use X-ray scans and chemical tests, and acquire tools such as UV lamps, knives, hammers, and crowbars to uncover concealed items.

Handling resistance

When suspects refuse to cooperate or try to escape, a taser and handcuffs may be your last resort.

Progress across shifts

Daily choices can earn rewards and upgrades that carry over to your next officer; experience and past mistakes shape later shifts.
