Mexican police nab drug-launching cannon near border

It seems like Mexicans and drug cartels are getting smarter about their ways of getting drugs into the US. Smugglers have used tunnels, cars, boats, and even humans in order to traffic drugs across the border, and now they're using cannons to shoot bags of drugs onto US soil for pickup later that night. 

"Well, I've been in (law enforcement) for over 20 years, and it seems like within the last five to 10 years they have gotten really, really creative in how they bring their drugs across," said Andy Adame, special operations supervisor for the Joint Field Command Arizona of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

There has only been one cannon seized and their is no doubt that more will be found in the near future.
