Looks like the Coast Guard will be staying busy tracking submarines full of drugs. Drug Cartels probably will come up with something even crazier once their submarine fleets lay at the bottem of the ocean.Josh Sternberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253355462266375258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-82414876056857776672012-04-04T12:43:37.385-07:002012-04-04T12:43:37.385-07:00Sounds a lot like the IED tactics of insurgents in...Sounds a lot like the IED tactics of insurgents in Iraq. When they first started they were low tech with just a battery and a long wire. then we learned to sweep for the wires and the insurgents went to cell phones and such. Then we put jamming systems on our humvees and the insurgents went to pressure plates. Hopefully we don't have to invade columbia or mexico to take care of this drug problem.Josh Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953148640647050961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-25851378231143833082012-04-01T22:16:03.321-07:002012-04-01T22:16:03.321-07:00Its amazing what ends the drug cartels will go to ...Its amazing what ends the drug cartels will go to to get drugs into the United States. I can't believe they have the resources to make submarines to try to bring it in to the US. It certainly presents interesting challenges for law enforcement. If they are willing to risk building a 2 million dollar submarine to bring it in, they must be willing to do just about anything.Ethan Boldthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625602678164685888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-64852479416491246452012-04-01T20:31:30.799-07:002012-04-01T20:31:30.799-07:00The drug trade is something truly remarkable.

Although it is quite disturbing regarding what they do and how that affects others, they have a system that is so complex and completely intractable. They have an entire system of transporting their drugs, delivering to high end dealers and storage. The intelligence of these officials in the trade game is excessive. They have some fantastic minds involved in the system. If only we had them working for our military or government developing ways to put an end to the trade game.

From my recollection, some cartels have enough funds to sink multimillion dollar submarines after each shipment is made. I can see why sinking a $2 million dollar submarine wouldn't phase these cartels if each shipment is bringing in about $625 million. This is absolutely crazy to me because I can't even begin to imagine how much these cartels are really making. No wonder, they always seem to be one step ahead...they have virtually limitless funding.Erico Burgoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01054915525252355211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-41106857534861132032012-04-01T12:01:58.629-07:002012-04-01T12:01:58.629-07:00This post is very interesting to me.

The two main points that I found the most interesting were how the smugglers make double the money because they take weapons back with them and the fact that they can transport 625 million in drugs in a machine that only costs 2 million to build. They are definitely profiting.dhouserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657281561333355000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-50138902952495653162012-03-31T20:31:01.407-07:002012-03-31T20:31:01.407-07:00I find it interesting the ways drug cartels come u...I find it interesting the ways drug cartels come up with to smuggle drugs. It is like they stay one step ahead of law enforcement every step of the way. Once law enforcement catch on to their smuggling tactics it is like the cartels are ready with a new one. Obviously the times are always changing and technology keeps improving so I am very interested to see what the cartels will come up with through out my lifetime.Christina Psculkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820476106948741707noreply@blogger.com
