Lightbulb Here's a plan: Why not get the cows to help out?

Cows could be used to block up the road and slow down traffic going through this border crossing, thus giving CBP agents all the time they need to conduct proper inspections of the 3 cars per hour that would use this crossing. If additional time is needed, stools and pails can be brought roadside and the cows could be milked while standing in lane.

Let's start thinking of cows as the next layer of security. In this bold new 21st century, why not make Bovine Patrol the 21st layer? CBP can then also stand for Civilian Bovine Patrol...

Or, the farmers and cows can be deputized and used for security. The government could then pay them for their services, creating an income stream to replace the income that taking this property would affect. In being deputized, the cows would also enjoy the same benefits as drug sniffing dogs. (Could cows be trained as drug sniffers? That would be another reason to do this...)

Instead of thinking so one dimensionally, our government should start trying to be agile and sneaky. After all, what terrorist would ever suspect that his plans of destroying America could be tipped off by a cow? (That puts a whole new spin to "cow tipping" now, doesn't it?)

Cows. Providing us with milk for better bodies. And now protecting them from being blown up too. The BovineAgent Protection Program™ should be put into action immediately.
