that's so hospitable for the Mexicans to warn the terrorists to use another crossing method. Thats good old fashioned customer service right there!

I was reading the link that delmar provided, and my screen locked up! It was one of those fake Microsoft virus alerts, and my only way out was to
shut down and reboot.
Anybody else get that, or am I special? The last scan I had was earlier today, and it detected nothing. I just ran another one, and nothing new was
found.

Use the free version of "Malwarebytes" to run a scan as well.
The other free program to use is "Spybot"
I'm always surprised as to what they find.
These two programs came highly recommended by my computer guru, to be used twice a month, in conjunction with my anti-virus program.

I watched the yuma station video after it was scanned by my SW and had no issue viewing it. I bet it was compromised after I viewed it.

How about telling us, in your own words, what the Red Alert was about or for? ie. Why is there a need to consider a different border?
Thank you!

Gosh every news outlet is following the red alert Check teh NYT and CNN and many others.
Here are some links
https://kyma.com/news/2020/01/10/mexicali-border-on-red-aler...
https://therightscoop.com/breaking-southern-border-on-red-al...
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/yuma-sector...
And on my phone news app it said they are tracking the 4 people and the latest was they are in the south parts of Mexico and heading north.

"might want to try a different crossing the next couple days..." my intent was simply to warn folks there might be crossing delays....again sorry if
the link was compromised, google can be your friend..

It doesn't sound like it should be a problem for those of us heading south. Anyone disagree?

Not a problem for you heading south, until you turn around and head north

Maybe the alert scared away some travelers. I have been checking wait times at Mexicali and they have been shorter than usual.
