2/23 Ready Lane SY POE Bust
Earlier this evening (~8:55 pm), I spotted a young couple attempting to smuggle drugs across the border from inside of their car. I doubt that this
will make the evening news, since 'Photography' is listed on the activities that are unlawful in the new Chapparal POE.
I thought it was short-sighted of this young couple to attempt carrying drugs into the US. Even worse, the young man (sporting shoulder-length hair
and large mutten chops) was laughing out loud as he was being hand-cuffed. His girlfriend looked less than amused.

Can you elaborate on the drug bust Ken? Was it dogs that clued the agents in?

It looked like the German sheppard was the star last night. I saw the dog being handled into and out of the car, and a white plastic bag being pulled
out and placed onto the rear trunk of the car. The hood was later opened, and visually inspected before the two were taken into the facility for
processing (in handcuffs).
After waiting exactly 4 hours in the line 5:10 - 9:05, I saw with my own eyes the reason for such long border times.

That is a ridiculous time to wait. I'm thinking of heading south for the day right this second, but the Sunday border wait may deter me. Lost
revenue for you Mexico, sorry.

Otay Mesa normally has better wait times. San Ysidro POE is under construction - and with the physical layout of the temporary kiosk/islands one must
drive up to in order to be questioned, I now can see how the wait time will be reduced by 50% as more lanes are eventually added to
accommodate the number of agents that are attending to each individual automobile.

I'm planning on looking into it. Much more fun than North of the border.

Thank you Ken for the info, at least we know now that some of the drugs are being stopped from heading NOB.
Why do Liberals insist and demand that achievers pay the way for nonachievers who are to lazy to succeed, or are just failures by their own choice?
Criminals prefer unarmed victims, dictators prefer unarmed subjects.
Why do ignorant people continue their blabbering when it only proves to others how stupid they are.

The pair of "travelers" looked like very dumb stoners from Michigan. It appeared that they got what was coming to them.
