It's a game that's been going on for years, Jerry. For every one they catch, how many do you think make it through? Losing a load is the cost of doing business for the cartels. Losing a mule? No loss to them, there's plenty of folks willing to step up and take her place.

Those big scanners they use can detect false compartments and stuff in them. The cannon idea was a good one if they would have had someone there to pick up the stuff !! With some of those flexible underground lateral drilling rigs like they use in fracking seems like they could drill a tunnel half way to Tucson then shoot containers through like the old time vacumn things in stores.
