Security ... think about it!
Baja California Gov. José Guadalupe Osuna Millan has lobbied for a scaleback in the inspection process, but President Felipe Calderon -- needing to show progress in his three-year offensive against drug cartels -- calls the measures a necessary sacrifice. More than 1,000 people have been killed in Tijuana since 2008 -- many with guns obtained in the United States.
Gunmen shot and killed a former police commander and opposition politician in his office in the Mexican border town of Tijuana, officials said. Lawyer Eleuterio Cachu Ortiz, who was shot three times in the head, was the fourth current or former police official to be killed in the past two days.
