Custom security is a shit.
Today I discovered how the smuggling is really done.
Eduardo Eurnekián, the owner of the first uruguayan airport and 36 argentinian airports as well, has only 5500 square meters of very badly managed cargo area. The rumor? The whole business is a plane that comes on mondays at 3 am and doesn't appear in any document.
Now, this man is partner with other airports in USA and Italy. Make your figures. You don't need a poor teenager to carry cocaine in her stomach. All you need is a network of airports and some unregistered planes. Then you can deliver hundreds of pounds of drugs without a single problem, aside from the very few custom officers you have to bribe. It's like FedEx for narcotics.
Man, I'm so writing a novel on this.
