containers and have robots empty the trucks (obviously not tanker trucks,

containers under the scrutiny of customs agents, then reload the truck.
Here's some border securing technology:
* Los Alamos National Laboratory, http://www.esa.lanl.gov/ars/ars-home.html
*
* Acoustic Resonance Spectroscopy (ARS) is a technology developed at
* Los Alamos National Laboratory for the noninvasive identification
* of the fill content of sealed containers.
*
* Identification is accomplished by analyzing the effect that the fill
* material has on the resonance modes of the container. Based on the
* acoustic vibrations of an object, this Los Alamos instrument quickly
* and safely identifies the fill content of containers [for purity of
* one kind of substance I guess].
*
* [The instrument is implemented and pictured] The ARS instrument was
* selected to receive one of R&D Magazine's 1995 R&D 100 Awards; the
* awards are given annually for the one hundred most significant
* technical innovations.
*
* The technique is suitable for any noninvasive identification of fill
* materials in sealed containers.
But no, massive monitoring of people suspected of no crime is the
appropriate response.
They were just warming us up for the CALEA telephone monitoring bill.

Here is part of the story on why we let trucks full of cocaine and
heroin just roll right into the United States.

* Due to their new 'Mexicanization policy':
* Mexico became the main gateway into the United States for illegal
* narcotics, with the amount of cocaine making
