Good News; Egypt is seriously going after the Gaza border smugglers:

Battling Bedouin Bandits In The Sinai

June 6, 2010: The Egyptian government has finally gotten fed up with Bedouin smugglers operating in the Sinai near Gaza. The Bedouin tribes that operate in the Sinai desert make a lot of money from smuggling everything from weapons and drugs to more mundane items like food and medicine. The Bedouin, over the last five or so years, have pretty much turned the Sinai areas where they operate into a lawless, Wild West. In addition to Gaza, the Bedouins have also been involved in smuggling arms and Al-Qaeda fighters out of countries like Somalia, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia, and into countries like Iraq and Syria. All of this has been very lucrative.
