Despite being an activity so deeply entwined in the history of trade, it is possible to mitigate the effects of contraband once we have understood its causes.
Contraband activities are driven by demand and profit.
Whenever there is sufficient demand for contraband products - whether they are untaxed cigarettes, counterfeit designer clothes or pirated music - and it is sufficiently lucrative to supply those products, organized crime will step in to meet that demand.

 Contraband interview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Contraband was the second collaboration of British director Michael Powell and Hungarian emigre writer Emeric Pressburger, and the second starring role they wrote specifically for Conrad Veidt, an actor they revered (Powell had also directed Veidt in some scenes in The Thief of Bagdad).
Although even Powell described the story as "corn," Contraband stands out for its witty dialogue, particularly between Veidt's crusty captain and Hobson's feisty spy, the brisqueness and flair of its editing, and the dark and eerie visuals of nighttime, fled-out London, which owed much to Powell's love of German expressionist film.

 Minnesota v. Dickerson, 508 U.S. 366 (1993).   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The warrantless seizure of contraband that presents itself in this manner is deemed justified by the realization that resort to a neutral magistrate under such circumstances would often be impracticable and would do little to promote the objectives of the Fourth Amendment.
Regardless of whether the officer detects the contraband by sight or by touch, however, the Fourth Amendment's requirement that the officer have probable cause to believe that the item is contraband before seizing it ensures against excessively speculative seizures.
Rather, the court concluded, the officer determined that the lump was contraband only after "squeezing, sliding and otherwise manipulating the contents of the defendant's pocket"--a pocket which the officer already knew contained no weapon.

 Bynkershoek: About Contraband
Otherwise, this rule, supported by an almost unbroken line of treaties, is that neutrals may not carry contraband goods to our enemy, and that if they do, and are caught, the goods are confiscated; but with the exception of contraband, they may freely trade with either party and carry anything to them with impunity.
There is the same prohibition against contraband goods in section two of the above-mentioned edicts of 1665, 1672, and 1673, where, after an enumeration of various species of contraband articles, it is added 'and all other articles manufactured and prepared for warlike use'.
Hence if neutrals have shipped contraband goods to our enemies, and have pledged their goods for the freight, if the goods are taken on the voyage and confiscated as contraband, the Dutch courts have held that the captain is thence entitled to his freight as though the whole voyage had been completed.
