Customs in Different Countries

How is customs different in different countries? It seems like drugs have an extremely tough time making it into Australia, yet in countries like the US or other EU countries, a very large % of them make it through. What's so different about how Australia customs screens for packages? For all the money spent on "War on Drugs" how come the US can't do the same?

Especially curious if you're Australian and can answer the Aussie bit

Australia Post X-ray select parcels and if they are suspicious they pass them on to customs officers which are on site at the mail sorting centre with chemical assay equipement.
