The one that I, a US citizen, had to argue my way through last week as I tried to get home to Ohio from Canada. It was ridiculous. I was arrested 10 years ago for disorderly conduct (during a divorce.) $100 fine, no probation, no jail. This popped up on their screens in Houlton, ME of all places. They actually took me to an interrogation room for an explanation.
"Homeland Security" is a joke.
I ran into something like that a few years ago when I tried to renew my driver’s license. I had a speeding ticket from years before that - in Ohio, in fact - and because of that I couldn’t renew. It was a Catch-22 type of situation. I was out of state so I had to have some different type of insurance that I couldn’t get because I lived out of state. And all this was because of a national drivers database created after 9/11. It was supposed to keep us safer, I guess, but as far as I can see the only outcome is that legal U.S. drivers are getting caught in the machinery, like I did.
After all this time, we’re still now serious about homeland security. But watch how the obama crew turns it around to make even more rules and regulations for the law abiders to follow.
That’s too bad. Securing the borders from the wrong people.
Right with you. Got vehicle searched by Border patrol in 1987 north of Harlingen Texas. LONG search. I was a red head freckled kid from North Texas. Got up the road about 10 miles and saw a bunch of illegals walking up the railroad tracks. When a plane appeared overhead, they all dissapeared into the brush. This foolishness has been going on for a LONG time.
