High-Tech Gadgets Can Pose Problems At Mexican Border

Posted by timothy on from the which-jail-would-you-prefer dept.

TechnologyResource writes "Going across the border will be a more 'interesting' experience since Customs and Border Protection will now be checking laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and any other electronics on your person or in your vehicle. It's not a new authority, according to Angelica De Cima, Office of Public Affairs Liaison 'They've always had the right to inspect your person, vehicle, baggage, anything on you. Nothing has changed from before,' De Cima said."

    hope you aren't buying into the lie that "90% of guns in mexico are coming from the u.s." That bullshit has been spewed by the back-pedaling liar Barack Obama and the BATF. The actual truth behind that distorted statistic is that most guns in mexico are from non-u.s. sources that can't be traced (Russia, South America, etc). A fraction of those could be traced, less than 20%, and 90% of those came from the U.S.
