POE Review

For those that don't understand - the reason there are "No public restrooms" at the border is because people have been known to smuggle drugs taped to their bodies or smuggle drugs internally. If the drug smuggler is sent to secondary, he can rightly assume that he's been caught, will ask to use the bathroom before he gets inspected and proceed to flush the drugs down the toilet, eliminating the evidence against him making him a free man. That is best case scenario. Worst case scenario is largely the same except that the person is a terrorist with bomb making material strapped to himself. Locks himself in a stall, assembles the bomb, walks back out into the lobby and blows up the family on their way to Disneyland waiting in line for their I-94's.

Now there's a pleasant thought. Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to US! When I got approved for my K3, the border officers were wayyyyy nicer to me & joked around everytime i cross the border. even when i wasnt ready to move yet & still crossed the border.

there is a bathroom at the new Vancouver Peace Arch Border. Well, I decided to cross that border instead of the another one I have been crossing at regularly (Truck Crossing). I never go to the Peace Arch b/c I find that they always come down hard on me every single time, i am always picked for random searches. And what do you know, i got picked for random search & worse part is i had my van w/ no seats inside it!!! shady!!! well i really needed to use the bathroom and they were like "what do you need to do?!!!" like I alarmed them. I had to take everything out of my pocket, they had to open up my purse and take everything out and i was physically searched before i had to tinkle. jeez louise! and oh yeah, i had to take my shoes off too for the search
