If it weren't for having a police escort and a pre-clearance arrangement, I'd be all for a detailed inspection. This just makes it confusing. If they had no reason to be suspicious of this specific vehicle, they should have let it go through.
If that's the case---then sounds like somebody didn't get the pre-clearance information-----which, I'm sure will now be blamed on Bush.

Crack up all you like. But I know that had it been such a terrorist attack, YOU and other Bush haters would have been the first to say "Bush did it."
No I wouldn't. But if it makes you feel better to think that, I can live with it. Whatever.

The only way to stop a terror attack there would be to check every single car, which would all but shut down commerce at a very busy crossing. And even then someone could still blow the car up at the border. I'm sure that solution is fine by you considering your total paranoia regarding such things, but it's not workable in the real world.

You want to hear something even scarier? Just miles from that border is the largest Arab community in the U.S. And the majority of the Arabs are Iraqi. I would alert Homeland Security if I were you. I'm shocked they haven't blown up the tunnel and bridge already. Sorry to ruin your sleep.

So......you believe there should be NO RULES at a border coming into any country? Or just the U.S.?
