I mean, it's risky, it's sad, it's horrible to see these people. And this is something I'm seeing firsthand. You know, a guy home with me, I say, man, this is the war on drugs. This is how it looks like. This is what's going on. It becomes normal and natural. You feel bad because people are being used, right?

A lot of work. That's true. It's not glamorous, but you're satisfied. At least you're stopping that from going to somebody else that's going to maybe hurt their life. That part there. So you see a lot of that. Miami, it's just a ton of that. They'll put it in the stems of flowers. I mean, talk about the detail of work, right? They'll hollow them out and fill them all up. That's impossible.

I mean, it's really hard unless we had intelligence or a great dog to really hit that because the x-rays are hard to reach. So they would do crazy ways you could imagine to smuggle stuff in. They would hollow out tiles, you know, for roofing and put a kilo in each one.

That's a level of corruption because that's not really going to where it's supposed to go. That's going to get ripped off. And it's going to other places. So that's how corrupt it was in the 80s and 90s and beyond. And things have changed now. And I'll talk a little bit about that, what happens. The collapse, you know, Escobar was killed. The collapse of the Medellin-Cali cartels.

And then the Mexican cartels stepping up and working with the FARC, which has now changed. Even they changed now. And now they have a different name. And they're working with them. They're bringing the coke to them. And Mexico takes over all distribution. They handle it from there on. They take it all. They don't have to worry about that. You just make it, we take care of it. We go into Colombia.

So the Mexicans pretty much are running Colombia and Central America. They're not just in Mexico, they're all over the region. And then of course, on top of that, you have the collapse with the communism and socialism that's taken over the region, which really paralyzes the whole country. That's why we really have to keep an eye on what's going on in there.

So I made a lot of contacts and I said, you know what? This is cool. I don't mind doing this kind of work, but I wouldn't mind. So they dealt with a lot of agents, investigators to take it to a next level, which is what you do as an agent. I mean, you're not stuck. I'm not stuck to the airport now. As an agent, I get to go all over the country, all over the world, right? Make my cases.

But I dealt with probable cause and stuff like that. So I networked a lot with FBI, ATF, DEA, and Customs. You know, it makes sense since I was already with Customs, I would just go over as an agent, right? Since I've worked a lot with these guys, but they didn't want to give up a lot of their inspectors because they know it's hard to fill those positions. So they didn't want to hire.
