(Waits may get longer going into Mexico)….The Mexican Government is cracking down on arms smuggling. Mexican Attorney General Eduardo Medina says ten percent of the vehicles entering Mexico will be checked. He says the effort is to crack down is an attempt to curb arms smuggling from the United States. The U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has also developed a task force to try to stop illegal weapons from being smuggled into Mexico. They say the problem has become epidemic.
