Did everyone forget that none of those 911'ers crossed the border from Canada?

Is this not a colossal waste of money?

Are the States getting a little too xenophobic?

link doesn't work

Works for me.

A lot of drugs come from canada to the US. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the extra security though.

wow, nonsensical...

I wonder if the border guys will start taking things seriously.

On my way in I had a whole bag full of food with me in the back seat. The guard looks in the back, right at the bag of food. "Do you have anything with you other than clothes?" "Nope." He looks at the food again. "Go ahead."

Huh, now it works.

I'm guessing this idea was suggested by an aircraft company.

Read the article, I guess drugs are a part of it.

this won't catch drug smugglers

Most drug enforcement methods don't work.

I thought homegrown drugs were on the rise in the US for the last decade?


Meaning...what a waste of time.

yes, but this one seems to rest on the idea that people are smuggling drugs in backpacks through unprotected swamps, rather than just driving them through the checkpoints

you still get lots of pot from up here

I agree though, total waste of time, expands your survalience state into the province I live in

Anyway, I'm all for keeping you dirty canadians out of my great nation.

Unless there's a draft...then I'll become a mountie.

coke? no way, that comes to us through you, and most meth is domestic (now at least, years ago, sure, our bikers probably played a major role)

edit: pfft, we don't even want to go to your crappy country, keep your skynet robots out of ours

A lot of biker gangs still get meth from canada, I forget their names, but they're mainly northeastern, maybe it was ours that have yours coke.

US has been the meth capital for decades, but I guess we can't get enough.

I think they got guns from canada too.

I think their name was the Warlocks.

Do you think skynet will take over before the global economy collapses?

I'd be astonished if criminals in America were getting guns from Canada

probably the Hell's Angels you are referring to

Well they probably did it too, but it was the Warlocks I was talking about.

ah, my mistake

Oregon is huge on meth. if I ever bought any I think it would probably be USA certified.

I'm sure drug smugglers will circumnavigate this no problem, but at least whoever makes Predators gets paid

so, it seems like there have been drones over the Can-US border for a few years now...

just curious, if I wanted to find some statistics about how successful these operations have been, any ideas on where I could look? Google has been unhelpful thus far...

Guns smuggled IN from Canada??



That is like saying Mexico has a real problem from all the coke/weed smuggled in from the US...
