"I don't go anywhere anymore; if I have to go somewhere, I drive."

Same here, but I fear we'd better get it out of our systems before the government intervenes there as well. It's coming. Mark my words.

How easy it would be to turn all those truck weigh stations, and agricultural fruit inspection stations into anti-terror checkpoints.

I drove to Calif. 2 years ago, down I-15. It is my understanding that most of the land that borders I-15 from Montana down to California is public land. Yet, several hundred yards off the freeway (both sides), the entire 1500 miles, is barbed wire. You - the public - are not allowed to enter that public property. You - the public - are funneled to these ready made anti-terror checkpoints.

Its coming.
