News services last week carried the story of Federal agents shutting down an elaborate, 360-foot drug-smuggling tunnel found underneath the U.S.-Canadian border. It apparently went from a lounge room to a warehouse and had been well-built. A tape with tunnel-digging-covering-sound effects (a car repair shop) was also found.
I guess because Australia only has sea borders - being an island, and all states being part of the one country - I'd never considered the difficulties of land-based smuggling (nor sea-based - just to keep the record straight!) There's probably a limit to what you can smuggle in and out of a lounge room - as opposed to a garage.
There was no indication in the reports that anything had been smuggled, or what they thought would be smuggled - but fr that sized investment it was probably going to be good (or bad!)
