Drone delivery not just a dream for Amazon – now delivering drugs from Mexico (well, trying to…)
This week a drone crashed in a supermarket parking lot near the San Ysidro, CA-Mexico, border. The six-propeller remote-controlled aircraft was most likely overweight as it contained more than six pounds of crystal meth, divided into six packets.
According to The Verge:
…. a source at the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) told a Mexican news outlet that in 2012, drug-packed drones made at least 150 attempts to cross the border. The technology has been used to transport drugs away from the border, as well. Last year, a drone crashed while attempting to transport marijuana to a South Carolina maximum security prison, and a man in Australia was arrested for making a similar attempt near a Melbourne prison.
When it comes to drug trafficking, you have to admit, there are no limits to their creativity.

Hoo boy, and to date I’d only worried about getting crashed into by some local idiot’s drone.
LMAO!
I’ve been thinking about getting one for some time now — for video recording. And bug the asshole neighbor across the street….
I should warn you, then, that if I had my druthers I’d ban the ownership of drones by private citizens.
I had a feeling those were your sentiments. 😉
Yes, i read somewhere even slingshots were used to throw it over the wall..
Yes. Any way they can. Tunnels, cars, horses, swim the Rio, remote places on the border (which are very dry and hot)…. Any way they can.
