would pick South America. Lots of weapons available and from the appearance of the strict security at airports vs. the border it would be far easier to take a walk through the desert.

If you were a terrorist, your best bet would be to fly to Canada and then cross the border at a spot of convenience. No problem crossing from Canada. No treck through the dessert. No fence. Few guards. If you can pass as a tourist you got it made. You have to work and pay out cash to cross the Mexican border. With the Canadian border you just walk a few feet.

Wouldn't it be more effecient to just fly straight to the US?

Incidentily, you will be glad to know that I have been stopped by the INS twice! The first time they (temporary) thwarted and evil plot on my part to help fix the delapidated freeway system in California. After I moved back, I went back for a weekend to hang out with a bud. Got to spend half an hour with 'em again while they made sure I wasn't up to my old highway designing highjinks, all of which are legal. The only other person I have ever heard of is the Canadian wife of my American bud, they got to spend lot's of legal money to get the paperwork through so that she could get her work visa. I could see the dilemma though, although she is now working as a much in demand teacher in California, probably would have been best to see if she spoke spanish first, as that would be most useful for communicated to the kids filling up the schools. That INS, man, their something....
