A day after I posted the previous comment on the boarder patrol, this news item caught my eye in the May 16th Salt Lake City Standard Examiner


The face and fingerprint-matching technology that has been touted over the past decade as a sophisticated new way to stop terrorists and illegal immigrants from entering the country through Mexico has one major drawback: U.S. boarder inspectors almost never use it.

Some of it hasn’t been installed, using it would “create too big a backup at the border,” and besides what fun is this compared to tracking down people who used LSD 25 years ago? I mean, drugs are a threat, right?
