They built a permanent one up there???!!! I haven’t been through that area in a few years, but it wasn’t there before. Oh my....

The Stasi is allowed to detain and/or interrogate us within 100 miles of the border. The Das Fuhrer “Homeland” agency started this. Here’s just one link (with an old petition): http://forcechange.com/62464/stop-unconstitutional-searches-and-seizures-within-100-miles-of-u-s-borders/

Yep, with all the high tech gadgets. We went through in October 2010 on our way back from Oregon. On the way in we were weighed and sounded, photographed and recorded, asked if we were U.S. citizens and sent on our way. So, a short stop but why not secure the border? Why bother us and 99% of the other folks driving through who hadn't been to Mexico?

On the same trip we were going to go and see Hoover Dam but on the way in we saw the checkpoint with all the "officers" rummaging through folks' cars and deciding we weren't going through that, made a hasty u-turn. I am half surprised somebody didn't come after us.
