Bringing gear into Canada- penalties?

[Sir Victorian guy, V.C.]

Suppose you entered Canada with a shoebox full of amps and tabs in your suitcase(not carry on)

- what do you think the chances are of being caught?
-if caught, would it simply be confiscated, or would criminal charges be laid?
- could it be claimed as 'personal use' amounts for the next year?

I know firsthand of a man who did just that, and was not caught. Since luggage has to be moved quickly(for connecting fllights), does customs scan all bags?
Just wondering. Any Canadians out there with any clue, let me know.
