CBP (Californa Border Patrol)

That's nothing. My last time there I was stopped on my way to TJ because I looked "suspicious". Damn idiots didn't even check my pockets right. Which kind of bothered me. If they're going to stop me at least do it right.

The time before that the Latina CBP said I was acting "weird" so she pulled me to the side coming back. I think I emptied both of my front pockets. Told me to pull up my pants. She never touched me. Yeah they shouldn't quit their day job.

And the time before that the Asian CBP asked for my ID plus my passport. Yeah so much for having the passport policy. I can't make it peacefully to TJ or back. But let me tell you something if I find out a green truck full of Marijuana makes it to the states just like Up in Smoke I'll be pretty upset. Actually never mine.

Yes, that is hard to believe. The amount of radiation you get in an x-ray is tiny. It is not much more than the radiation you receive just living on the earth for a few weeks.

I always drive into TJ. Got sent to secondary crossing back last week for the first time in many years. And you won't believe why??? LOL

As I pull up to the booth, the CBP agent is holding in his hand what looked like TV remote? When I stopped at the booth he almost put it in my face? WTF? Then the damn thing start beeping??? He pulled back and did it again? Same thing, more beeps?

Only this time he had kind of a smile??? And in doing so he asks, have you had any xrays taken lately? If fact I had chest rays taken on Friday afternoon? 48 hours ago?

It turns out he's a nice guy. He apologizes and tells me he has to take me to secondary to check me out for a concealed radiation threat? The xrays machine prior to the booth detected my chest xray and sent off an alert in his booth. UNREAL the detectors are that sensitive.

So off to secondary we go. Once there they bring out THE BIG ONE, you know the Geiger counter we all know of that SCREECHES. Well it SCREECHED when they pointed it at me. And of course they had to do it again?

Then they go over the entire car with it ever so slowly. So finally almost an hour later I was sent on my way. Geez I wonder if I was glowing in the dark?
