Traveling in the US has become so burdensome. By air? In addition to full body Xray, Xray of carryons, and taking off shoes, waiting in lines. There was this added risk of random search and asset seizure.
By car? If you live within 100 miles of USA border there’s likely interior checkpoints. Often times they just wave you on but it still impedes flow of highway traffic. Occasionally they do the dog and pony show of asking if you are citizen or not. Additionally, a metric shit ton of cameras installed at entrance. Likely as part of quasi legal facial recognition operation and license plate tracking.
- bufferoverflow 2y agoAir travel is like that everywhere, not in the US only. And the 100-mile checkpoint thing is complete nonsense. I've lived within 100 miles of USA border for 25+ years, I drive all the time. I have never been stopped by this "border check". I haven't even met anyone who was stopped by them. Sure, it probably happens occasionally, but it's not "burdensome" to an average driver, because it's not a thing.
- FireBeyond 2y agoJust out of curiosity... 100 miles of /which/ US border?
- xyst 2y agoTell me you have never lived in or near the southern border of USA without telling me directly ;)
