Do you ever wonder just how bad the drug trafficking was four or five years ago? I remember our community’s initial reluctance to admit that we had a drug problem in our small town. Just yesterday, authorities confiscated 24 pounds of cocaine and in the week prior, larger amounts have been confiscated. It would be an eye-opener if we got to see the total seizures for this last year. We can assume that trafficking through our port of entry has gotten more difficult because of our emphasis on securing our border and all the money being expended on increased vigilance. I guess we can speculate that this amount of trafficking has been going on for many years and went undetected until now. We must also realize that a simple traffic stop by law enforcement officers has yield large quantities of drugs. And yet, our unfounded cynicism attributes these illegal activities to our surge in new and better homes.
