Newspeople seem to avoid asking questions related to big drug busts. Posting the latest press release is typical. Our questions appear in bold type.
After squandering DOD credibility for decades in distant lands, a new WWII style uniform look and a pledge to clobber the cartels:

How long before a $51.6 billion US Dept. of Homeland Security with the world’s most powerful DOD out front, is able to keep methamphetamine from entering Bucks County?
Will there be less need for a Drug Strike Force if General Milley’s plan takes hold?

Bucks County Joint Drug Task Force nets leader of meth trafficking empire, 16 others
“The Bucks County Detectives Drug Strike Force and the Bensalem Township Police Department have charged the leader and 16 employees of a methamphetamine trafficking “empire” that operated for at least three years in and around Bucks County.”
“…the drug ring moved about 20 pounds of methamphetamine every week, supplying distribution amounts of the drug to individuals throughout the region.”
The Big Drug Bust – Always Reported as a Highly Successful Team Effort
Sort of like a giant jobs program. Does General Milley want to kill off all this?
“The Bucks County Detectives Drug Strike Force and the Bensalem Township Police Department also were assisted in this investigation by the Bristol Township Police Department, Falls Township Police Department, Middletown Township Police Department, Bristol Borough Police Department, Philadelphia Police Department and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.”
“The Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA is one of 33 High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas nationwide supported by funding from the Office of National Drug Control Policy. Nine counties in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware comprise the Liberty Mid-Atlantic HIDTA region, with Bucks County being designated in 2019. Along with the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, over 50 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies partner through HIDTA to reduce the availability of drugs in the region.”
“This case has been assigned for prosecution to Deputy District Attorney Christopher W. Rees and Deputy District Attorney David A. Keightly.”
Wonder what was happening at border crossing/port of entry inspections during the last three years, while these folks were moving about 20 pounds of methamphetamine every week.
Do the good guys who made the local bust notify the good guys at the border about the weak links in their process?
Imagine LE authorities observe a shoplifter or bank robber in action. Instead of going in to make an arrest they back off and conduct an investigation that goes on for years.
What if they applied the same tactic Re: crimes involving arson, terrorism, child abuse, DUI, etc.

Nothing gets past @CBP’s K9 units!
Nothing gets past @CBP’s K9 units?
Any word on how 20 pounds of methamphetamine every week was moved into Bucks County over the past 3 years?
Where were those CBP K9 units? Any newspeople available to ask for clarification on these wild CBP claims?
