Much cheaper, but also much more risky than flying a drone over.

Only if your drone doesn't use radio frequencies.

It's not like the drone would stop for any length of time. It would just fly over the predetermined location and jettison the payload.

I love how you think but I want to remind you that the Border has RFID tracking on both sides and anything that crosses it triggers it. Drones definitely trigger because Homeland Security installed new sensors after the Indian people froze to death on the border. golden dome is being tested HERE

Not really sure what to say about this. You seem to think the border is crawling with feds. It's not.

If a drone can have a multiple-kilometre long flight path, there is zero chance they will find where it had dropped its payload before it is scooped up by the recipient. They don't drop them to nobody.

Ask somebody about triangulation. You know, in case they're more interested in the pilot than the craft. In any event, the main problem is there are too many guns which are too easy to acquire in the US. AND, which get shipped to countries where they're harder to acquire. The cartels buy guns here!

Yeah, because triangulation is some kind of new tech that nobody has ever heard of. Your assumptions on what I know are ridiculous.

Remember friend we are #teaching we can't beat those who don't understand, into #Clarity. we have to spoon feed them LOL

Well, if you know that, then you know if they suspect someone is smuggling via drone, that they can catch the someone who's standing there with the controls.

I don't have the energy to explain all the reasons in which you are wrong. If you think they're going to deploy all of this over a commercial drone, then you can go ahead and keep thinking that; the rest of us will stay here in reality.

Right now defences against drone infiltration is mediocre at best, and there is no good way to judge efficacy of those actions without a significant change in the appearance of said weapons.

Well, let's get back to my original point. There are places along the border where you can just hand stuff across.
