Caught! Airport- Paperback

A suitcase comes off the belt, and the X-ray operator frowns. Inside, rows of small round shapes are nested in a towel — and one of them just moved.

Step into the secret world of the airport, where customs officers read a traveler in eight seconds, catch a fake passport under a special light, and find live animals hidden inside the luggage. Meet the beagle who can stop a disease before it reaches a single farm, the scientist who unmasks a fake pill by its chemistry, and the detective who can tell a real 2,000-year-old coin from a clever fake.

Caught! Airport is real-cases, real-science nonfiction that reads like a detective story — a fast, fascinating tour of the hidden team (and the very good dogs) guarding the door every traveler walks through. Each chapter ends with a true "This Really Happened" case, and the book closes with a glossary, a quiz, and the real careers behind the badge.

Book 2 of the Caught! series. Also available: Seaport (Book 1) and Land Border (Book 3).
