The explanation given is that cartel air drones entered US airspace.
I guess my question is, doesn't this happen all the time? I would think drones would be an easy way to fly a Kilo over the border to whatever dropspot you wanted. I wonder what the new wrinkle is?

agricultural drones used for spraying can lift up to 60-80kg payloads.
The smuggling is nothing new. Sounds like they're testing laser-based countermeasures against them now.
