Border Patrol officers discover new methods of drug smuggling

Fentanyl seizures continue to grow at the Arizona border, and a state port director says suspects are using new means to get them across.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Director Michael Humphries for the Port of Nogales says smugglers are getting creative when it comes to sneaking drugs into Arizona.

None of those hiding places are "new."

it’s cute that they think they’re actually doing something. what they catch is minuscule compared to what goes through right under and around you.

Imagine thinking this is how drugs enter the country knowing it's your own Government

That engine running is crazy, good job on the search.

Where's there is demand, there ll be supply. 😆😆😆

Just make the stuff legal. If U wanna be a drug addict be a drug addict. We lost the war on drugs guys

[brandonstanley]

I’m sure there’s more coming in than they’re catching. Probably decoys for the bigger shipments.

The war on drugs made it profitable to find ways to smuggle smaller quantities of more powerful drugs.. fentanyl on our streets is a direct result of the war on drugs.. a policy that for every year over the past 40+ years, has made drug overdose deaths exponentially worse.. but hey, let's try the same thing again next year and expect a different result, that's not insane at all..

"Mexico doesn't send their best"..a famous quote from a great man.

Imagine how many officers have been bought & the amount of drugs that they let went through

A drop in the bucket compared to all the drugs being smuggled in over land outside a U.S. customs point of entry.

This isn't a new way, this is a way that has always used.

chasing after the small fries ... when industrial quantities are coming in via freight ...

When you find the source of the fentanyl pills, force feed them to the parents of the smugglers while the smuggler is forced to watch.

How do the weapons make it from the USA to mexico. I never seen USA news report on that.

I must admit, I'm impressed with the crutches. Now that's thinking outside the box. If they would only employ their creativity for good instead of evil.😕

[James-lzrf]

Where's the new way they've been smuggling that way for years

A drop in the bucket compared to the amount the U.S. government is shipping in

We would like to thank drugs for winning the war on drugs.
