  Facinating, and chilling. What does the DHS have to say about a target as obvious as this one, I wonder?

  same as they do all the rest of the seriously dangerous soft targets, Bennett
  
  nothing
  
  not a blessed thing has been done..and pledges about border security have been tossed aside as well
  
  i'm in such a state at the moment, that a carbine with scope and a policy of not letting anyone near my land is about all i can manage
  
  that would be almost funny if i was joking
  
  Excelsior?

  I'm with you. Adding firepower, keeping the head down, and thanking the circumstances that led me to me living away from most "soft targets".
  
  I know that I don't fit "the profile", but it really is too damn easy to get across the border. Went to Montreal last week. Hit the border on the way back, showed a driver's license, declared $40 worth of random purchases, and away I went.
  
  Could have had guns, explosives, hell even a terrorist or two in my trunk...
  
  And that was the primary customs between Quebec and say, Boston. The smaller crossings are much less formal.
  
  Will we learn?

  Blogger pictures are not displaying. This is typical - they simply go away after a while. May I suggest hosting your images on another site?
  
  At least, add alternate text and a click-through link so people who want to see the images can go to the blogspot where they are visible.

  In this case I think the problem may be the spaces in the image names. I emailed Terry about it.
  
  Good post, btw.

  Thanks for the heads up on the pictures/blogger problem. I'll keep that in mind for future crossposts.
  
  Give me some time to get the shots hosted somewhere else and I'll get you the links.

  It's lovely now. Thanks for fixing it.
  
  As for the meat of the article, you would think that with the direct threat which this situation poses to Capitol Hill and the people on it, this would be the highest priority among legislators, yet they seem completely oblivious.
