They did operate that way for a while. For example, they told Customs agents to “randomly” inspect that batch of pineapples and found the hidden bags of drugs, and arrested the smugglers. But when it became apparent that they couldn’t sustain that level of fiction for the huge numbers of crimes in progress, and needed to be able to stop other crimes (like murders of informants), they wrapped up the operation all at once, with hundreds of simultaneous arrests.
