Answer

Do airport checks in Mallorca catch most illegal shipments?

Airport checks can intercept suspicious parcels and travellers, but they cannot catch everything. The Mallorca cases suggest that traffickers use multiple routes and adapt quickly, which makes total control unrealistic. That is why authorities also rely on parcel inspections, intelligence work, and cooperation across the island.
