"...W(h)y do they always wrap it so nicely?.........."

They have a commitment to retail excellence and noted on their customer comment cards that presentation was a big issue with their customers. Also, it is an attempt to cover the smell. The attempt failed.

"Eligibility for the FAST program requires participants (carrier, drivers, importers, and southern border manufacturers) to submit an application, agreement and security profile. The FAST program allows known low risk commercial shipments to receive expedited border processing at cargo ports of entry."

They want to do exactly the same thing for airline passengers. Fingerprints, backgound check, etc, and you get expedited processing at the airports.

This demonstrates what can happen -- the bad guys will use the method of least scrutiny.

Not to those of us who are working very hard, every day, to keep terrorists and drugs out of this country, off our streets, and out of your neighborhood.

Yeah. Calexico is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (IIRC), so the actual time of day doesn't really mean much to the guys working there.

Does this mean the ‘free roads program’ is now hand in hand with the open borders program? If these types of crackdowns continue will the shootings become more frequent? Wait don’t tell me...I think I know the answer.

Don’t underestimate the disconnect between the guys working in the trenches and their leadership.

Wow! Who could have seen this coming? Free and Secure Trade is so inherently good I’m sure this is just a fluke and will never ever, ever happen again. Certainly this will be the only time that the Mexican truck drivers will try to smuggle something across the border besides, it’s really the border patrol’s fault. They are not supposed to look so close.

It’s pretty hard to cover the smell of 9 tons of pot............perhaps they should have used Ozium......

you are correct, our people in the trenches are shot at or jailed if a drug dealer is arrested....something smells.
