Today we drove back from visiting our families for the weekend. My wife and I.
As we went on down the desolate highway, we approach a number of signs indicating we are approaching an 'Inspection Station' with 'Federal agents on duty' and 'Warning - K9 detector', and a giant metal pavillion constructed accross the highway on the northbound side.
I start to see a Department of Homeland Security flag flying. Underneath, about a dozen vehicles marked to belong to the US Customs & Border Protection, some green(border patrol subdivision) and just a few navy blue(the same ones right at the border crossing), a helecopter, and perhaps the most impressive surveillence set I have ever seen, of infrared scanners, high-tech cameras. There was close to a hundred on each side of the highway, and more on the southbound side where there is no checkpoint.
"Wtf are all the cameras for?" I think to myself. I get closer. There's a bunch of border patrol agents standing around. One of them is holding a dog on a leash, appears to be a Belgian mallenois/German shepherd mix.
I stop in front of the officer. He begins to ask me a series of questions while the other man with a dog slowly circles the vehicle.
"Are you a US citizen?" the officer asks me.
"Yes sir," I reply. The officer never asks for any ID.
He continues to ask "is this vehicle yours?"
"Yes sir," I replied again.
"How long have you had the vehicle?" He asks.
"6 months," I replied.
"Where are you coming from?" "Where are you going?" He asks.
I answered his questions politely.
He asks "Is it okay if we look in the trunk?"
"Why?" I asked.
"You need to get out right now so we can X-ray it." He replied.
"Why?" I asked again.
"Because you're in a new ca-You're being combative," He barked.
Then they told us where to stand, so they can frisk us like TSA agents. They brushed my scrotum and asshole with their hands. They got a butch buzzcut lesbian to check my wife's bra, and pat between her legs!
I ask what the purpose of this was while they finished searching the vehicle.
"We're protecting America," he smugly replies.
After searching the car, they let us go. We didn't do anything wrong, but we got completely raped by the feds in the name of "Homeland Security".
