this opens a interesting scenario where drug cartels may be the answer to a logistic problem since they already have the infraestructure for drugs. Could they diversify and smuggle tech products given their volume/weight ratio?
Organized crime has a long history of involvement with smuggling other kinds of products. It's common to smuggle electronics to countries with high import taxes (e.g. Brazil) and cartels have been involved with high value produce imports like luxury goods and avocados for years.
