Only one tunnel from you to us and they shut it down before it really got going.

Canada we need your drugs ....drugs are bad M'kay. Now just dig another tunnel and we'll take care of all those bad drugs for ya ;).

Ok, now that I'm done joking, really just a story related to Canada I thought ATOT might enjoy to help break up the boredom.

Oh yeah, I searched before had and came up with zilch. So if this is a repost kindly get the search fixed before you start complaing.

They monitored it for 8 months. Those fools must've been constructing a man sized tunnel. Why not just use one of those pipe machines that push the pipe through the ground, then use a little pulley or something to move the drugs.

It seems like it would be ridiculously easy to smuggle drugs across the border. Get two small speedboats - the type that regular people buy to take out boating for fun.

Park one in Vancouver, and another in Seattle, or somewhere else with a harbor nearer the canadian border.

Get a couple guys to go to each boat carrying a bunch of stuff. a bag full of "towels", a cooler full of "drinks", etc.

Have the boats meet up out in the ocean somewhere and swap goods, then go home.

Yeah, I saw the 8 months. Maybe they were trying to set up a track so they could have a cart? But yes I agree, these were indeed fools.

It's not worth smuggling such small amounts as you are describing. They will need to move many kilo's at a time to be profitable. And for that kind of volume you need large transportation.
