Pulled into secondary by CBP when entering Mexico
Yesterday when entering Baja at the Mexicali West border crossing the CBP was narrowing traffic down to one lane and pulling vehicles out into a
secondary lane. We were lucky enough to be chosen. They left us parked there without telling us what was happening until they filled the lane with
cars. They then brought out a dog and ran it up down the line several times before letting us out through a gate to remerge with the lanes entering
Mexico. So, are these dogs trained to sniff out large amounts of cash? Guns? Or did they think we were smuggling drugs INTO Mexico? Lol! Has this ever
happened to you?

I was told by my border patrol friend that cash is the primary thing doggies are sniffing for. Not sure if true tho.

They do this at San Ysidro often, but not with dogs. Have been for years. I don't know what they're all about......dogs or inspectors. I was told
once, they were looking for stolen cars which would make them agents for the insurance companies.
I think it's a school for jack-booted thugs........JBT University. This police state crap makes me sick.

Almost everyone carries cash, how does a dog distinguish between a large amount of cash and a small amount? All currency has traces of cocaine and
other drugs on it, so why don't the dogs alert on everyone? Once in the airport in San Salvador, a dog alerted on my back pocket where I had my
wallet, the handler seemed unconcerned and said "you are carrying money there". I wondered after that if the dogs detect the currency from the traces
of drugs on it. I also know that a dog can alert based on the behavior of it's handler. I don't know how the dogs could sniff out a firearm, maybe
they have them trained to sniff out the chemicals in ammunition so perhaps they could detect a weapon if it had been fired.

A drug/explosives dog reacts differently between a little and a big snort. When they get a really good whiff they go nuts.
We can expect in the future to be secondaried a lot at all POE's. Let's see, how high on the Geiger Counter would a latin male go, all tatted up,
driving a car with black windows with the tail dragging the ground? Be thankful you are gűero.

To be consistent with the thread, your POE has to mean "Point Of Exit." I sure hope you're wrong. Driving into TJ is a far cry from getting on a
plane.

I was being a bit tongue in cheek with my remark about dogs trained to sniff out money, but the CBP does have such dogs in service!

"is now being deployed along America's borders.
Operating under the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Bureau, the Chemical Detector Dogs (Chem Dogs) will help "improve our capabilities to detect
weapons of mass destruction that terrorists may attempt to smuggle into the United States," according to a CBP press release."
==================
So....what about traffic going into Mexico? That's what we're talking about here.
What with our budget shortcomings, have we decided to supply protection for Mexico as well?
How does CBP protect Mexico from ATF and the Attorney General? Is there a special breed of dog for that?
All this is, is Homeland Security growing to a monumental size right in front of us.

All along I thought POE meant point of entry, as in
entering Mexico

Exactly, we were pulled out of the entry lane going INTO Mexico and "sniffed" by the CBP dogs. When my husband rolled down the window to ask what was
going on, he was gruffly told to "Roll up your window and wait". There were about 6 agents working this secondary lane. They gave us no indication as
to what was going on or how long we would have to wait in the heat!

Any road crossing into the USA is called a POE. If you want to be explicit, call the Mexican part a "garita".
The checks have just begun. DHS is crying millions in aid to the Taliban and Al Queda is leaving the country by motor vehicle. Firearms, explosives,
chemicals used in drug processing. Every single license plate, and I mean every last damned one is imaged and sent to Colorado for processing. They
know where you live and who is your papa. Don't ask CBP about the "TEC 2" database or you may be third leveled secondaried.

If you've been following events in Libya and Syria, it would seem that the US government is one of the major
sources of such aid. Maybe they just don't want any competition.

I'm having trouble sorting out US agents forming a primary inspection area at the entrance to Mexico.....an exit from the US.
I think "Point of Exit" is correct.

That's my point. The road in question isn't coming "into" the US. It's going out.

They are all POE's.
Your heading determines whether it stands for "Entry" or "Exit"
