That’s why Mexican cartels are building citywide CCTV networks[1], forcing kidnapped engineers to build secret radio networks[2], and shipping stolen iron ore to China in exchange for bulk meth precursor chemicals[3]. It’s not a question of whether cartels beyond Jalisco can’t get their hands on computerized mills to make their own guns, but how far up they’re willing to scale."
