Okay, just To be clear, these

Representatives from Homeland security and the

U.S. Attorney's office Are offering you the

Chance to make a deal;

A deal to lessen Your sentence for

Trafficking in Illegal ivory.

Why Would I make a deal?

That would be an Admission of guilt.

We have Overwhelming evidence and

A 98 percent conviction Rate, you really want to

Try your chances In front of a jury?

I'm listening.

Okay, in exchange For possible leniency you

Will help us all conduct a Sting operation to capture

Smugglers attempting to Bring stolen antiquities

Into the u.S.

I'm Bored already.

Smuggles whom Homeland security believes

Have ties to Terrorist organizations.

As much as I Personally dislike the

Idea of offering you a Deal, we believe you might

Be helpful with This operation.

How Thoughtful of you.

Have you ever Heard of mark cascadia?

Alright, I'm outta here.

Wait a second.

See that guy?

Yeah.

That's ryan, He's my co-anchor at

Jamestown news and he Is totally stalking me.

He keeps texting me And messaging me.

He even sent me flowers.

Hey, we said we Were gonna take things

Slow, I have no exclusive Claim to your affection.

Or do I?

You know what, I'll Go talk to this guy.

No, no, it's not That, he's not my type.

Yeah, handsome And 6'1”, who wants that?

No, I like Them handsome and 4'2”.

Anyway I keep politely Ignoring him but he is

Relentless.

And I have to stay on his Good side so he doesn't

Deliberately mispronounce My name on the newscast.

Can I have My hand back now?

Wait a Second, wait a second.

I think it helped that he Saw you holding my hand.

Maybe he'll think you're My boyfriend and then

He'll back off.

Hold on, is this Just an elaborate ruse to

Get me to take You on a nice date?

Would That be so bad?

No it wouldn't.

He's looking Again, hold my hand like

You mean it.

Hey, Hey, hey, hey.

You know I could Get used to this.

And this is How it's been working.

Tell me if you've heard This before, alright?

Terrorist looters have Been raiding historical

Sites, stealing artifacts And then selling them to

Dealers to fund their Terrorist activities.

Now often these artifacts Travel through europe and

Then end up in the u.S.

We need you to Get cascadia on record

Admitting to importing and Distributing these stolen

Artifacts.

You'd be wearing a wire.

I don't have a Relationship with mark

Cascadia.

It, he's never Gonna tell me anything.

And today's latte theme is Reptiles of south america.

The theft and Trafficking of cultural

Items is a practice As old as history

Itself.

Although most of you won't Be dealing with illegal

Activities like this, Postal inspectors and

Their law enforcement Partners investigate these

Crimes with the goal Of recovering cultural

Heritage properties and Returning them to their

Countries of origin.

On the domestic side We also focus on the theft

Of mail.

The u.S. Mail remains One of the most secure

Means of transmitting Personal

Information and Merchandise.

With the billions of Pieces of mail the postal

Service handles today, the Amount that's stolen is

Miniscule.

Postal inspectors Safeguard all of it

Including the people who Move it and the customers

Who use it.

And it's all included In the price of a stamp.
