Clausont thank you for providing a valuable real-life experience. The ADUANA checkpoints are nightmarishly strict. Anyone who thinks otherwise is in for one hell of a surprise.
My last trip through I was held up for TWO HOURS because the scanner tube that they pass the removed hologram in front of would not register it. The hologram was in superb condition when this was attempted. The lady spent the two hours TRYING to take digital images through the windshield of the VIN placard on the dashboard. She would not recognize the decal on the door jamb.
There is nothing on the face of the earth more dangerous than SAT / SHCP armed with computer databases. Taxing foreign bank account money transfers and deposits? Property taxes based on whether or not the owner has an IFE credencial? Fees based on whether or not the individual is extraneous? Oh i can't wait to see what they have in store... :)
