I guess they missed or didn't care about the loaded SIG in my driver's door pocket. I used to drive through the one between Tucson and Sierra Vista, AZ with an AK and an AR in plain view in the cab of my truck. Border Patrol supervisor on the scene would ask me if I was a US citizen and if I had anyone in the back of my truck under a tonneau cover. I would lay into him for not recognizing me and then tell his Border Patrol officers at the check point about how he use to fall asleep on duty at the agency he worked at prior to getting hired at the Border Patrol. He couldn't get me to drive away from the check point fast enough after that. |

They have been catching a number of Middle Eastern individuals out there recently, no speaka Spanish, suspected Syrians who are not very nice individuals. Think they had about 9 of them in custody last week one day. Quote HistoryQuoted:

There is a checkpoint on I-19, about 20 miles south of Tucson-----that one it pretty much a breeze to pass through and I suspect that they are most looking for drugs (they use dogs) and other smuggled items. That said, there is another checkpoint just west of there---located on the 2-land road between Amado and Arivaca (a major drug and illegal route) that is a PITA to pass through-----then too, it is likely that the Border Patrol officers there just don't have enough to keep them occupied. Is that the one by Three Points? My friend has been working it and the Border Patrol has been warned from higher ups to not arrest any illegals, they are there only to intercept drugs, apparently now under the administration's kinder gentler immigration policy. The one at Three Points is on SR86, different from the Amado/Arivaca checkpoint. I went through Three Points checkpoint last week.

I went through the Sarita, TX checkpoint south of Kingsville a few years ago on the way back from the King Ranch. Never even came to a complete stop.
"You a US Citizen?" "Yesir" *BP agent pointed north, I drove on. Frickin violation of my rights and all of that. |

Use to travel from Las Cruces north almost weekly on I-25 for about three years. We had a four horse slant trailer with a living compartment up front. We could have wrote a manual for smugglers - never once stopped, checked or question. I wonder how rich we would have been bringing illegal quantities (name your type). Having said that, we usually had at least one news paper open on the dash board (read), coffee in the coffee holder, at least one small barking dog with us (kept the K-9's away from our truck/trailer) and the wife (usually) had her bare feet up on the dash (sorry, no pictures).
So much for secure boarders ................ |

I hope next year their leash will be removed and burned so they can do their job. POS J. Johnson needs to be fired from Homeland Security.

After the first two times I started answering them in either german, mandarin, farsi, or russian. They don't care anymore and just waive people through.

Did you not spot the small white cargo trailers, off to the sides, surrounded by lights on poles, about 100 yards before the checkpoint? You all got infra-red scanned/x-rayed on the drive up. They already knew how many people were travelling with you. ah, no. At least not the trailers in the pictures. |

Yup yup. Also had plates scanned. They see what other checkpoints or borders you have crossed on their computer. That data also goes to state police and other federal agencies. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Which by the way has caught them coming across with radioactive industrial and medical waste which they intended to use our garbage dumps to dispose of, they did not want it in theirs. |

They have all kinds of goodies. What surprises me the most is that a lot of the sensors and cameras look temporary, yet they have been there for years. I wonder if they switch the trailers out regularly. All the cables have spools to roll them up on from what I have seen. |
