Getting High With The Times? Cartels Use Drones to Smuggle Drugs Into US
Somewhere in a powder-filled room, Tony Montana is kicking himself - unless he's preoccupied with something else - for not thinking of this drug smuggling tactic.
On August 8, at about 11:30 at night, an agent patrolling the US-Mexico border near San Ysidro, California, heard the sounds of a buzzing motor coming from out of nowhere. However, the sound wasn't from a nearby car: it was coming from above.
Seconds later, the vigilant agent saw a remote control-operated drone whizzing over the Mexico border into US territory. From there, he tracked the flying machine and radioed fellow patrolmen. The authorities were eventually led to an entrepreneurial 25-year-old man who was caught hiding the drugs in a lunchbox. The $5,000 drone was found hidden in a nearby bush.
