Background here: News tip/story idea
Domestic heroin trafficking makes a mockery of all war on terror crime fighting efforts, tactics, tools, & technologies.
911 should have been a drug trafficker’s worst nightmare. The US Dept. of Homeland Security- a whole new federal department- was created to stop terrorists and prevent another 911.
What happened?
At U.S. border, expensive drones generate lots of buzz, few results
Why hasn’t the Department of Homeland Security been able to keep heroin out of the US?
Think terrorists are smart enough to pose as drug traffickers- then cross into the US free of screening, scanning, pat downs, special IDs, inspection of personal items, etc.
Don’t worry-
