Record Drug Seizures on US-Mexico Border

Anthony Coulson, assistant special agent in charge of the US Drug Enforcement Administration in Tucson, Arizona says the DEA has already surpassed last year's numbers for the amount of drugs seized at the border between the United States and Mexico.
"According to US Customs and Border Protection figures, which include only amounts that CBP agents seize, 1.7 million pounds of marijuana were seized along with US border with Mexico so far this fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30... The previous record, for all of fiscal 2006, was about 1.3 million pounds."
The increased amount may be the result of improved boarder security or an increase in the amount being shipped from Mexico. An increase in the number of boarder agents, use of X-ray machines, sensors, and canine units are all believed to have contributed to more seizures.
