Night vision is greatly improved with infrared thermal imaging cameras, as most people know from scenes in movies, like “Predator”. In real life they are even more compelling.

Here’s a screen grab from a thermal imaging video taken by a private citizen northeast of Douglas, Arizona, Friday evening, November 2, as displayed and described on YouTube.

The video shows four drug “mules” carrying illicit cargo.

Six people were in the group. Four were apprehended by the Border Patrol, after being guided in by the private citizen. 139 pounds of marijuana was confiscated. Two got away.
