Drug smugglers along the U.S.-Mexico border have turned to drones to advance operations and get past border officials at the same time. Border officers sent out a plea to residents in southwestern Arizona to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and drones along the border.
Drone video shows Border Wall Prototypes in Otay Mesa, San Diego, CA
U.S. Customs and Border Protection released b-roll video footage showing various prototypes of the border wall Trump promised during his campaign. The video is shot from a drone that flies over the various wall prototypes and like Matt Novak from Gizmodo points out: “the drone video of border wall prototypes accidently shows how worthless the wall would be.” Trump said that the purpose of the wall was to stop: “drugs from pouring into this country”. However, any affordable and easily obtainable consumer drone would have no problem flying over the wall to drop drugs on the other side.
