So I am spending all this money on a SENTRI pass? For What? 3 more years of grief? BTW they are still hiring new agents if you need a job.

Bit off topic... but deals with traffic... here in Los Angeles... they intend shutting down the 405 freeway through the Sepulveda Pass, on the weekend
of the 7/16/ & 17... should prove interesting...
Now there is a fun drive, 6 pm south bound getting on the 405 from Santa Monica Blvd... and heading down to Orange County...
Really don't miss driving all that much.. unless its out on a lonely road... still like to look at "things"... when able to get out...

If it makes you feel better, they are lowering the price...

Bajajural:
The Sentri lanes are not closed. The Sentri pass will SAVE you a lot of grief. This thread is about the medical fast-pass lane. If any of you
happen to be coming back Sentri, take notice when you pass the Fast-Pass kiosk. Please note here whether or not it is open or if it has yellow tape
across. Thanks to all!

The reports are not that the SENTRI lanes itself are closed, it is that the route to the SENTRI lanes is blocked in some manner, causing a longer time
to get to there.

OK, Will Try Again to Help Out
We have U.S. Passport cards ($30 per person).
That qualifies you to go through the READI lane at Otay Mesa.
These cards are RFID which means the electronic reader identifies you with your ID and you are sent forward as a verified passport holder.
They are building one or two READI lanes at San Ysidro, depending on what news report you believe.
My guess is that they are trying to make SENTRI go away.
But. what do I know?

May be true. It looks like SENTRI cars are being targeted by drug cartels in Cuidad Juarez. They break into cars at peoples homes that are expected
to cross the next day and plant drugs. No reports from San Ysidro yet.

Now c'mon, don't start rumors...they are aggressively trying to get SENTRI peds. to sign up for SENTRI and just opened up a walk up office in SY. The
READI lane will just be another option.

Woooosh, that sounds a tad far fetched. BREAK into CARS at peoples homes and plant drugs on the expectation that they MAY cross the next day???? We
don't know from week to week when we are going over, how would anyone else? This would also mean that someone is providing addresses. Things are bad
enough around here without this flying around, doncha think?

This is an urban legend! Ever since I can remember, beeing born and raised in Tijuana, this has always been an urban legend as for anyone that goes
across. Everyone knows a friend of a friend of a friend that knows a friend of a cousin of someones relative that knows of someone that had drugs
planted on their car because they knew they were going across.
A well informed Baja California traveler is a smart Baja California traveler!

Fast Trac was opened yesterday morning when I crossed about 7:45 am, the Sentri was really fast too no problems whatsoever. I also talked to the
Customs Agents when I was renewing my SENTRI and asked about the READI lanes and he says that will not interfer with SENTRI just another link into
getting a few more people across without problems. Said these are people that do not want to buy SENTRI or can't get one. Take Care & Travel

Note, all the lanes we opened at San Ysidro except lanes 4,5,6,7,8 but when I say all I mean the lanes numbered all the way through 24. So, it looks
like maybe after this week or next all lanes should be open, I HOPE ANYWAYS!! Take Care & Travel Safe---"No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN"

I was wrong to jump to that conclusion. If these people have drugs in their cars they don't know about when using the SENTRI lanes they could have
left their trunk open overnight by mistake.
