While the Obama administration has begun looking into ways to ensure safe passage to the United States for Honduran children, federal officials have reportedly harassed an Iowa Boy Scout Troop seeking to enter Alaska through Canada.

Jim Fox, leader of the Mid-Iowa Boy Scout Troop 111, told an Iowa television station one of his scouts took a photo of a Border Patrol official and agents immediately leapt into action. “The agent immediately confiscated his camera, informed him he would be arrested, fined possibly $10,000 and 10 years in prison,” he said. Fox alleges one agent drew his pistol and pointed it a scout’s head after the scout attempted to retrieve luggage from the top of the van in which the scouts were traveling.

I’ll see how it works. I stopped using it a long time ago due to poor performance.

I’ll follow your tip.

Thanks.

I’ll be damned. ..Why?

[Rusty0604]

I was actually surprised when I thought this news hadn’t been posted. I did a title search for “boy scouts” and “border patrol” and came up empty. It’s not worth fretting over.

I couldn’t make the search function well for over a decade.

I gave up on it.

If you’re right about your tip, thanks. If you’re not right, thanks, too. Good advice is always appreciated.
