EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers working at the Ysleta Port of Entry seized over 20 pounds of cocaine this week, according to CBP.

CBP says at around 9 a.m. on Wednesday, May 28, the seizure began when a 22-year-old man, a U.S. citizen, arrived in a truck from Mexico.

A CBP officer working at the primary inspection booth selected the truck for a secondary exam after a scan revealed anomalies in the appearance of the vehicle, according to CBP.
 
A CBP drug-sniffing dog also alerted to the presence of narcotics during a sweep of traffic as vehicles were approaching a primary inspection area, according to CBP.

An X-ray scan of the truck confirmed the presence of anomalies in the firewall and dashboard area, CBP said.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I haven't been reading as much about Fentanyl lately.  I wonder if the cartels have found a new way to smuggle it into the country? :pondering:
