Otay Mesa Tunnel
Looks like the product thru the tunnels is predominantly going to be people now. Not as much profit as drugs???

They might as well just keep going all the way through to Canada. THAT seems to be the way illegal Northbound immigration is going.

I read this article first thing this morning, and two things jumped out at me, kind of comical in a way... the exit was right next to the Otay Mesa
complex, pretty strategic planning i'd say.... and the initial tunnel before complete had been already discovered and "turned over to the Mexican
Government"... go figger.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Frontera Update:
Allegedly 23 Chinese nationals at $20K per person.
Utilize so called "old tunnel" that was once blocked
Using the most illogical exit was their strategy, just pop out of the ground and be normal.
Intel gathering appears to be only status quo, same rate of tunnel disclosures as in the past.

Wow! The tunnel toll collector got $460,000. Not bad for a night's work.
That's a fast buck, easy BIG money.
I wonder how many made it through before this group got nabbed.

Fixing What's Broke ?
Realizing that accuracy might be illusive and the numbers subjective ..........................Are there ANY "relatively" unbiased studies/estimates
indicating the likely volume of people and contraband NOW making it past the existing walls, fencing, barriers and technology which would likely be
stopped by the proposed Trump Trillion-Dollar Wall ?
Obviously, the idea of knowing what you didn't catch is a challenge, but somebody must be trying to get a grip on
the figures.
Or NOT ?

You don't hear about Cartel drone smuggling because the CBP flies their military drones along the border 24/7 from Menifee.
The military does drones very well and they have lots of capabilities, they refine their techniques all the time.

Ohhh yeah. Drones.
Wait till Amazon tries to use them for product delivery. They'll be falling from the sky like ducks, for the same reason.

Some that have been caught. Of course, nobody knows how many have not been caught.

Downing Drones
http://www.jammer-store.com
$2700.00 - $9900.00. WOW !
You'd need to be seriously bothered AND free with your cash.
However, there are numerous cheap Home-built alternatives such as an [Illegal] Spark-Gap Transmitter. Simple to build. Fun to use.
Bad to be caught.
