Tourists in Mexico already are protected. While attacks do happen they almost always involve the tourist putting themselves in a dangerous position and pissing off the cartels. Millions of tourists visit Mexico every year completely safely. Which again the cartels are perfectly happy with as they are directly profiting from this.

Everyone commenting that the cartels will make large amounts of kidnappings or murders are idiots. The cartels have better things to do then kidnap a bunch of international athletes and tourists. And the government has literally nothing better to do them to protect those athletes and tourists.

Attacking tourism is bad for cartels business. They want tourists to come to Mexico as they make money from tourists.

The real people at risk from the cartels here are those involved in planning the olympics. Bribes, intimidation, and murder of officials will likely be used to ensure cartel connected businesses are awarded contracts.

I took the 90 mile range from their website.

The attack happened 600kms (370 miles) from the Ukrainian border. The Switchblade has a 90 mile range.
