Well I have never considered Border patrol to reflect my own beleief system, far from it. I can't condone their actions, but generally country's and gov'ts around the world get very paranoid when they hear about drugs. It is too bad that Eddie's friend got convicted w/ possession 'cos that rap will last a long time. Yes it is a pisser but I am not that surprised. I would expect similar or worse treatment from American Border Guards (and believe me I have received in all on "suspicion"). Please note that my beef is w/ American Border guards, not American citixens (if that makes sense) michael
