CSI Havana

Thinking of the experience of USAID detainee Alan Gross in the Havana airport, a reader sent me this video of a Cuban television program that depicts some of the screening and surveillance at Jose Marti International. You can draw your own conclusions.

The program, Tras la Huella (“Following the Footprints”), is a crimestoppers show, each episode showing uniformed and plainclothes personnel of the police and Interior Ministry solving one crime. It’s easy to find episodes on YouTube by searching the program’s name, or “tras la hueya” as some posters have spelled it.
