How would automation mess up the flow of drugs. Wouldn't it make it easier, if no human was there to take a peek?
Or are there ghost containers on ships, which are filled with drugs and not part of the manifest, that an automated system would flag but people with greased hands know to let it through?

- AdamJacobMuller 2y agoDoesn't even have to be whole containers, whole containers would be harder to hide. Just divert the container to an area without cameras for a few minutes, pop it open and remove the kilos. In a manual world, nobody notices that the container takes 15 minutes longer to reach the storage area. In a manual world, nobody notices that the container suddenly became 100lbs lighter. In a manual world, nobody notices the GPS trace showing the container going behind the warehouse where the camera coverage is spotty.

- FireBeyond 2y agoThe second, mostly. The second season of The Wire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire_season_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire_season_2) covers this, as they track containers that come off a ship and end up in The Stack, and never make it onboard a truck (at least according to the tracking system).
