(33,643 posts)Statistically-speaking, 'seizures' are quite likely to represent only a certain % of the total population of drugs being smuggled in.
It's fairly reasonable to suppose that high amounts of seizures also means high amounts are getting through.
However, OTOH, there is no real way of knowing WHAT % of the total the seizures represent.
It may also be reasonable to suppose the numbers are high because enforcement was highly efficient.
Therefore the main 'crime' here is stating it with such certainty (IS allowing? Maybe, but not necessarily!).
