Howdy ezjim,

Well..it didn't take long for someone to jump in and try to twist this thread to something else ! lol

You see,unlike the UN,and because of 9/11/01,we decide to act quickly,to preserve and protect,our national security..we didn't have time to retrofit every humvee..dilly-dallying around,while folks die by the thousands..is the UN's forte..we chose to act in the best interest of our national security,rather than risk it,by waiting on other countries to figure out how to respond to 9/11/01.

Your certainly welcome,to come on down to the politics forum,and hash this out some more.

As for this story,I posted it to highlight how dumb it was to be removing dirt and hauling in construction materials,in front of the border guards..they should have utilized counter-surveillance gear and been more careful. Which brings me to my pet peave about dealers,and that is that they often don't spend a dime of their profits on counter-surveillance gear. Dang ! At least git an outdoor security cam and a body-wire detector ! Git one of them 5.8 ghz phones with scrambling technology..and don't use cell phones or anything less than 2.4 ghz..the poor police departments,usually can't afford the scanners over 900 mhz and rely on federal funds and task forces to provide the fancy high-frequency scanners.

Have a good one....
