Just curious for you Mexican aficionados. When driving across the border are they allowed to look into the woman's purse too?
Yes. Crossing a border anywhere customs officials are allowed to look into anything, including your body. Most countries do not share U.S. legal protections relative to search and seizure, and even for the U.S. those do not apply at the border.
Your attitude is probably what is most important. On a crossing from Canada to the U.S., one of my college professors made a joke about drugs and earned himself a body cavity search.
