It's quite simple really and boils down to corruption. Forget about western-style security! Yesterday another five more National Guards were arrested in Caracas. One of them is a Lieutenant-Colonel.
The proceeds of one successful flight are enough to pay off hundreds of people in Caracas. And, of course, you pay the Big Chief more than the Indians.
Do you think it stops at Lieutenant-Colonel level?
And, as I've said before, the usual rules don't apply when an army guy gives you 500 euros and tells you he knows where your family live.
