I just hope that I'm never kidnapped by a cartel because I think there are a lot of rather low tech (but tech) means for them to circumvent border control. I'd never ever want to associate with these groups, but I imagine it's a bit of a nightmare trying to prevent movement of desirable and valuable goods (drugs, objectively have value according to most news reports on seizures, street value estimates are quoted). Seems like decreasing demand might be a higher ROI investment than trying to prevent said smuggling. One thing that worries me is the potential for wildlife to be abused as a means of smuggling.
