Undercover agents, unmarked cars, hidden cameras… No this isn’t an episode of “Cops,” it’s a new Discovery Channel documentary about the Department of Homeland Security.“Under Siege: America’s Northern Border,” which airs Wednesday night, is a one-hour special about the northern border of the U.S., the reported crossing point of choice for the likes of the Millennium Bomber and the terrorists behind the first World Trade Center attack.
The special is packed with scenes filmed using black lights and figures moving around in the dark that are pretty much impossible to spot. Computer-edited voices narrate several chase scenes, leaving the viewer with the feeling that they are catching a glimpse of some top-secret security footage they were never meant to see.
