Just found that and was going to post it, saw yours come up.
Seems pointless though right ?

Gangs etc make this stuff (meth) up just about anywhere with a kitchen, so seems like a waste of time / risk.
Criminals aren't very smart obviously.

the headline makes out that the drone smuggled its own weight in drugs ?
what it should have said
some bozo used a drone to smuggle drugs
i know these drones are clever ,but cooking up some (meth) programming its flight path and flying itself over the boarder ,(come on really )

Consider that was about $10k street value in Meth I guess they figure it is worth it. Sure, locals can make it but considering that over 80,000 kilograms were seized last year (and that is just seized) there must be a market for it.
