Regarding security theatrics, lots of people note that terrorists could smuggle tractor-trailers full of explosives and rockets across the border, along with the drugs and illegal immigrants.
One can only imagine what the federal government’s response will be if that actually happens. One guy with explosive underwear and everybody needs backscatter irradiation or an invasive grope. How will the politics, paranoia, and security balance?
My guess – the US will ask Mexico to issue IDs, that the US will accept, so we have some idea who the ok coyotes and drug dealers are, versus who the sketchy ones are.
