This Should Scare You

Acting on a hunch that the activity wasn't legitimate, the guards tipped off investigators, who found that the hut was a starting point for an elaborate, 360-foot drug-smuggling tunnel beneath the U.S.-Canadian border.

On Thursday, authorities said they have shut down the tunnel _ the first such passageway discovered along the nation's northern edge _ and arrested five people on marijuana trafficking charges.

Great. So they've started to build tunnels to smuggle in marijuana. How long until some such tunnel is used for other "paraphernalia?"

"They were smart enough to build a sophisticated tunnel," U.S. Attorney John McKay said in this border town about 90 miles north of Seattle. "They weren't smart enough to not get caught."

How much you wanna bet al Qaeda is smarter than these guys?
