You are right DEA agents should only be assisting,training and providing resources. I did not state otherwise.

I do doubt they were looking for something small. Drug traffic flows both ways in that area. The cartels change plans and crossings daily with Belize/Guatemala/Mexico being a common path also.

I not getting drawn in either. It is possible to discuss this is much greater detail but it would do no good. This is my last post on this thread.

After a short review of the board I think we ought to recall the DEA agents and export cheese instead. PS SIN- Kalashnikovs are not made in the US.

Drug runners do not only run drugs, but also the money that pays for the drugs. The sniffer dogs are trained to smell cash too. Katie - did they seize a stash of cash from you? Come on, you can tell us

don't quit guys good thread

Yeah, I have seen cash sniffing dogs at BZE going thru the lines of people on their way in to the country, before customs/immigration. I thought they were drug sniffers but thought it would be weird checking incoming passengers, but later a Bz police officer said they were sniffing for cash.

wow. I will be more observant next time I go through customs at BZE.

Just a thought guys. In US:
Guns -- legal
Drugs -- illegal

Yet, we still have a problem with both. So as a libertarian, how bout we make some drugs legal, tax the hell out of them, and drive blackmarketeers in Belize and Guat out of business in favor of legitimate trade.

Heavily armed drugrunners go bye-bye, corruptions slows down dramatically, and we can start to spend tax dollars on drug abuse social problems where it will really help people instead of drug interdiction efforts overseas.

Just a thought...

Belikin Bill - thanks for proving your intelligence to us all. "I do believe you are smart enough to know" personal attacks are the best way to win an arguement.

Wish you could have been a cop, true?

Not my line of work but as for drug runners, yeah, I know em' well Billy-Bob. Some active, some retired, some dead and some in Mexican and US prisons (it's a small country). They actually would like to meet you and your family #8559.

You actually think the corruption stops at the Belize border? The US and Mexcian Governments had/have it's role in flooding its borders with all sorts of narcotics over the years.

FYI: Dryer sheets (fabric softner) and Crisco is the best way to cloak your cash and other items from those federal kanines.

Otter - excellent!

SIN

I agree with SIN? -- whch sign of the apocolypse is that?

That was my first thought too.
Reminds me of that movie Air America with Mel Gibson and Robert Downey jr.

Don't know if I like the idea of smelling like Crisco
