However, the current reality shows an Airport Security Police (PSA) with reduced operational capabilities, leaving ground control in a state of absolute vulnerability to the entry of capital and goods related to drug trafficking. The Shadow of Drug Trafficking over Control. The risk becomes critical when analyzing who is in charge of the remaining 'control funnels'. The recent elimination of critical controls in private aviation has sparked a debate that transcends economic efficiency to enter the realm of national security. Their elimination for private flights creates a scenario of administrative invisibility. Without rigorous controls and authorities free from suspicion, administrative simplification risks becoming the best ally for organized crime in the region. Without flight plans, tracking assets becomes an almost impossible task for criminal intelligence units. The weakening of criminal intelligence due to a lack of flight data prevents the databases of the Ministry of Security and the SIDE (Secretariat of Intelligence) from being fed with suspicious behavior patterns, facilitating the free movement of actors linked to transnational networks. The ineffectiveness of the PSA renders it immediately incapable of risk profiling, acting only reactively after a crime has been committed. The freedom to fly should not mean the freedom to operate under the State's radar. Customs is the last filter of control; if that body loses institutional integrity and falls under the influence of figures linked to the sewers of espionage and influence trafficking, air deregulation ceases to be a liberal measure and becomes a logistical facilitation. The lack of monitoring of asset flows in private aviation is one of the main vectors for the movement of foreign currency and narcotics. The combination of lax regulations with a control structure (SIDE-ARCA) influenced by figures with a history of links to narco-criminal activity, creates a scenario of a 'liberated air zone'. The reconfiguration of the SIDE and, fundamentally, the arrival of a structure linked to Antonio 'Jaime' Stiuso to lead the new ARCA (ex AFIP/Customs), configures a map of extreme danger. It is imperative to highlight Stiuso's historical ties to sectors pointed out for their connivance with drug trafficking and smuggling. By eliminating the mandatory internal flight plan and flexibilizing licenses, preventive traceability—the first ring of containment against illicit trafficking by air—is dismantled. Without a flight plan, there is no alert. The flight plan is the instrument that allows control centers to detect suspicious deviations in real time. In a country with vast rural areas and uncontrolled airstrips, the possibility of operating aircraft without declaring a route or cargo facilitates the logistics of 'bombing' substances or landing on private fields without the State having a prior record of the flight's intent.
