No, its not normal procedure. Far from it. Those women have grounds for a serious lawsuit.

The effect of this, though, is that you waive many of your Constitutional protections every time you cross the border . . . you've consented to a warrantless search of your person and property, down to accessing and copying whatever computing devices you might have with you (though in practice they don't do this without some cause). The US is particularly cautious at the land borders, because when you're driving a vehicle, you can be bringing something very nasty in (viz Y2K bombers) Advice to travelers to the US: don't assume that the US border guys will be cheerful or amused-- the Canadians are (though they're always worried that US have weapons), but the US border is now serious business. Erotica is a particular worry -- we have cases where border folks have searched laptops, found underage material, and folks landed in a heap of trouble . . . if you cross the border, do it with a porn-free laptop. |

I crossed into Montana in 2003 and was severely unimpressed with US Immigration. The Control officer was a cross between Aunt Peg and the female gym sargeant from the Police Academy films. She could have been sexy but she was just rude and nasty. I pointed out to her that the next time her bloody boss wanted some help invading other peoples country's I wouldn't be going. No sense of humour, nor indeed any sense of anything except her own self importance.

Texas really is a very red state. They execute more people in that state than the rest of the country combined. And take pride in that. No, thats not normal anywhere in the US. But it doesn't surprise me it happened in Texas. For those of you outside the US wanting to vacation here, don't go to Texas. There are many better places to go. |

I too live near the Canadian border and to me and my family, a border crossing is serious business to us. Although, my grandfather once said that you could smuggle a couple of Chinamen in your trunk with three sleeping kids in the back. Of course, this was in the 1940's. And my grandmother was a smuggler during the war. She would bring aluminum pots into Canada with food in them. She'd just leave the pot behind. And then she would bring unrationed things from Canada back into the States without telling her husband until they got home.
But whenever I cross the border it's "Yes, sir" or "No, ma'am" and no funny stuff. "I was crossing the border into Canada and they asked if I had any weapons. I said, 'Whatta you need?'" --Steven Wright

Up to 2000, the Northern border was very casual and friendly, you'd wave a driver's license and get waved through. After 2000/2001, the border got militarized. The training these guys (and gals) get emphasizes asking aggressive questions, to see if you stumble. My advice: don't joke with these folks. A lot are now ex-military, and the person you rib about invading other countries may be recently discharged after tours in Afghanistan. You may think its funny, but these guys don't (the Canadians, on the other hand, are much more relaxed, and will joke around-- except about guns). Land crossings are particularly strict-- at airports, there's some public relations pressure to say "have a nice day" and so on. And remember, at the border, you have very few rights, if they want to make life hard for you, they can. |
