Well, I consider Ports of Entry to be the border (as does federal law). When I said airport security, I meant the TSA crap...

Our border (whether land border, seaport or airport) security is absolutely NOT overly intrusive. The efficiency is something that I'll not stick up for, as I'm a federal employee and I know how things work...

I don't believe that anyone else was complaining about the TSA in this thread.

I was drawing a distinction between ports of entry and the rest of the border.

I just wanted to make sure... The inspection process to come back into the USA isn't intrusive (unless you get hit with a secondary inspection), so I thought you might be referring to airport security...

Sigh.

Looks like they're working on making Tybalt's list a reality: http://www.cnn.com/2006/TRAVEL/11/30....ap/index.html

The list already exists. It's just not perfect.
