[lucface]

Tricked-out secret tunnel between Mexico and US
Federal agents found a secret big tunnel that runs from Tijuana, Mexico, to Otay Mesa, California. It's apparently 1,200 yards long and runs between two warehouses on either side of the border. Two tons of pot were discovered inside. From CNN:

Cnn 2006 Us 01 26 Mexico.Tunnel Vert.Tunnel.Police.ApMade of concrete, the passageway had lighting, electricity, ventilation and a pump to remove water, said Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement...

Mack said human intelligence led to the discovery of the underground structure. Agents then used ground-penetrating radar technology from the military to find anomalies in the soil, she said.

So was it just for drugs? Or did they smuggle illegal aliens too? Either way, interesting stuff. Like out of a movie.

With all that pot in there how can they be sure it's not a tunnel for U.S. College students to get to Cancun for summer vacation?

 

[xPismo]

Oh no! I'll have to change my vacation plans... I was scheduled for the Pot tunnel tours of Mexico next week! Hope they don't find the one from washington to Canada!


....oops!

 

[iBlue]

damn, does this mean the price of pot will go up?

that looks pretty well planned out, i wonder how long it's been there.

 

[mcarnes]

He only makes it over the first fence, then runs into some barbed wire and is recaptured.

Man....its crazy! I was watching Scarborugh Country the other day. There are numerous reports of Mexican Military infiltrating the U.S. to deliver drugs. Several of America's border patrol have been killed in unfriendly fire.
