Well it's been extremely hard. And there's two sides of that. One is the geographic terrain; the other is the human terrain. What that means is that smuggling is a millennia-old family tradition along a number of these borders. Entire tribes make their living just moving goods back and forth across the border. Now some of this is very benign - it'll be cigarettes and other goods that have high customs on them. But in other cases, these smugglers help move terrorists into the country, undetected. Coming across from Iran, in particular, the most lethal forms of the improvised explosive devices are coming in.	well it's, been extremely hard, and there's two sides of that one is the geographic. terrain the other is the human terrain what that means. is that smuggling is a millennia-old family tradition along a, number of these borders entire tribes make their living just. moving goods back and forth across the border now some of this is very. benign - it'll be cigarettes and; other goods that have high customs on them but in other cases these, smugglers, help move terrorists into the country undetected coming across from iran in particular the. most lethal forms of the improvised; explosive devices are coming	Well it's been extremely hard And. there's two. sides of that One is the geographic terrain the other is the human terrain What that means is that. smuggling is a millennia-old family tradition along a number of these borders Entire tribes make their living just moving. goods back and forth across the border Now some of, this is very benign. - it'll be cigarettes and other goods that have, high customs on. them But in other, cases these smugglers help. move terrorists into the country; undetected Coming across from Iran in, particular the most lethal forms of the improvised explosive devices are coming	well it's been extremely hard. and there's two sides of that. one is the geographic terrain; the other is the human terrain. what that means is that smuggling is a millennia-old family tradition along a number of these borders. entire tribes make their living just moving goods back and forth across the border. now some of this is very benign - it'll be cigarettes and other goods that have high customs on them. but in other cases, these smugglers help move terrorists into the country, undetected. coming across from iran, in particular, the most lethal forms of the improvised explosive devices are coming in.
