By now, headlines like "meth-carrying drone crashes along border" barely raise eyebrows. We've seen drones used for smuggling before. The challenge law enforcement is now struggling with is finding a way to track down whoever is operating them. Drug cartels are getting ever more inventive with how they smuggle drugs—from subs, tunnels, catapults, liquified drugs being put into bodies and the like—but drones, more than any other technology, seem uniquely suited to the task. They're cheap, they're fast, they can fly autonomously, and they're (usually) reusable.
