#7  Boats are cheap. Once you go underwater, costs will increase 10-50X depending on the underwater performance. Not sure even drug lords can afford that.

#5  I have to agree wid #4 - as OWG-NWO maritime recce and security improves, I suspect these subs will learn to employ both large-capacity submersible drones, as well as "launch/fire-and-forget" above surface air skimmer drones.

#4  They speak of the possibility of the next level being the use of fully submersible drones. Perhaps if they perfect them we can use them for our military as things seems to be pretty slow on that front. Or have the drug gangs slipped a few spies into the US already to pick up the tech?

#3  Look for Iran to start building and selling small 'real' submarines to the drug lords in exchange for a channel to smuggle terrorists Undocumented Political Activists into the USA.
