Using Drones to Smuggle Drugs

After summarizing an unsuccessful drug-smuggling attempt in Georgia, the BBC reports on how drones are now being used to smuggle drugs into prisons:

Remote-controlled flying devices are becoming the tool of choice for those determined to smuggle in contraband, Stephane Lemaire, president of Quebec's correctional officers' union, tod the Ottawa Sun. 

"Usually the drones are carrying small packages of drugs or other illicit substances," he said. 

"Now that drones are relatively cheap to buy, they've become the best way to smuggle drugs inside," he added.

Nonmilitary drones are not all bad, however, as they "are increasingly being used in civilian life to make small deliveries, from pizzas to vital medicines."
