| automated drug subs? |
| 2009-06-26 |
| Even with the boarding party on the way, jumping off a sinking boat, usually at night, is dangerous. U.S. laws have been changed so that the crews escaping from their sinking boats, can still be charged with drug smuggling (despite the loss of the evidence). This, plus the new Colombian laws, is why the drug gangs are looking into automating the boats, so that no crew is needed at all. |

| #9 And it's not just cocaine. Meth will kill you quicker. So will heroin and some designer drugs. No thanks. I'd rather pack the dealers off to work camps for 10 years or more, send first time users to detox/rehab/boot camps, and death to the king pings (foreign and domestic) as enemies of the state. |

| #8 End the "war" on drugs and the smuggling will stop And we'll have several million dead people OD'd on cheap cocaine and their family members who the addicts have killed for money or for objecting to their self destruction. |

| #6 End the "war" on drugs and the smuggling will stop, leaving much more resource for stopping real threats to the country from across boarders. |

| #5 Making drugs shorter in supply will... Make the drugs worse quality. Increase crime. Whatever on that issue, a closely related issue which is far more important: Subs don't care what they carry. Drugs or nuclear materials, no difference to them. Big difference to us. Secure our borders with whatever it takes. |

| #3 And then of course you would tell the intended recipients they were never sent. |

| #2 Sink them very quietly, then tell the drug lords that the subs in fact did arrive and that the intended recipients made off with the entire stash. Let them sort it out. |

| #1 Great! Sink them on sight from now on since they won't be manned! |
