Hehe... Yea.. true.. it's on the white powder trail, but the tendency is to stay offshore and just go up the coast (not saying there are not attempted trans-shipments by road, but they are kinda rarer).
LE here work with other law agencies both south and north of CR (and up to the US). Even here, they are kinda sophisticated tho you'd never guess by seeing this country. Had some LE friends visting from the US and saw a "demo" of some elements. Example... despite the country can be *very* heavy in rainforest in parts (the kinda territory where people get lost and never seen again) - they can still track down routes by bugging and satellite positioning systems - eg an undercover plant can be working with transporters and just dropping small "bugs" along the way. This is picked by by satellite and if the "bug dropping" stops - can mean a problem etc..
There was one incident a while back which even amazed the locals. A small boat came into a bay. This boat had been followed from the south and on route to .. guess where? Once the boat was in the bay a copter appeared and started machine fire around the boat. The occupants started dumping packages overboard and did not appear willing to give up.
Anyways... they did give up in the end, but who knew Costa Rica even had armed helicopter??? *lol* People were picking up the packages of "stuff" which had been dumped overboard - and seriously doubt much of it was passed on to the law :-) When asked why the contents of the boat seemed sparse, the law guy says... "The tide was going out...." Hell, it always is when there are drugs floating in the water
