Oh, thank goodness. I thought for a moment there that our nation's

security would have to be defended by the likes of you and the other

mustered out and useless old military farts on rec.boats.



Whew!











The difference being that if called upon, we would.



You, on the other hand, would high-tail it down to a local community

college and sign up for basket weaving 101.





This may actually be more troubling than they have been making out.

This is the second group of Afghans who have been missing and turned

up near the same border crossing..









And, then again, it may be less troubling than it seems.



Considering the canadian border is the main conduit for terrorists

into this country, it should attract a little attention.

That's a misconception.
not one of your Seept 11 terrorists came from Canada...they all entered the US by other means... such as student visas.

There have been others however that did come through Canada, or
attempted it. I particularly remember one well publicized case in the
Pacific North West where a wannabe terrorist was intercepted at the
border with a significant quantity of explosives in his car. Having
spent some time in the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River valley
regions, it is clearly obvious that the border is difficult to fully
protect.
