So what if they are going to eventually use trucks, too? That's simply good business sense Not if you are an American Trucker. Not if you are a family dirving on the highway going to visit other family on the 4th of July and are slammed into by a substandard driver with substandard equipment. (you did know that with all your expertise that Mexican drivers and trucks DO NOT have to pass our rigorous standards?) Not if you are a civilian that get killed from a WMD loaded onto a mexican truck, driven all the way to Kansas City before it passes "border" inspection. It seems you are just like many in this so-called conservative adminsitration, you favor "the green" over the Red, White, and Blue.

This is the ridiculous jumping to conclusions I am talking about. So now they are going to truck WMD's to Kansas City. I got news for you, any truck crossing the border on a road or rail line is going to still get some form of inspection, this is primarily a shift in where the paperwork portion is checked. At the border the dogs will still sniff 'em, and if they are using sensors they'll still pass through those, too, just like all the other trucks and trains. However if the container seals are broken they will be stopped at the border.
The system isn't perfect, but it isn't going to be anything like Corsi thinks it will be.
