On the border between Texas and Mexico there are additional checkpoints several miles into Texas. The usual high tech x-ray vision cameras and who knows what else. I was working on a large (105,000 acres) ranch and commuting from a hotel in Laredo. Drove a pickup rental and wore the usual fire resistant clothes with my companies very common pecten symbol on my shirt. Weeks and weeks of going through the station 6 or 7 days a week. The same routine every time. They watch the monitors while another BP walks the dog around. Then one time I'm asked: where are you going? Huh? Where are you going? I'm thinking I'm an American in America I don't have to tell anyone where I'm going. I about boiled over. Piloncillo Ranch. Where is that? I know he knows. Between here and Catarina. Ok, go on. I was mad about that all day. I still don't like it. Maybe if it happens again.....
