If one watches the videos posted at
www.checkpointusa.org it paints quite a different picture from your assertion. One can even see a clip where the border patrol person admits that he knows who Mr. Bressi is and still he refuses to let him pass in an expeditious manner. There is another clip where an agent shouts, "Hi Terry" as Mr. Bressi pulls up to the checkpoint. It is clear that he is known to the agents but he is still detained. Could you explain what accounts for the discrepancy between your statement as to how things would work and the reality captured on video by Mr. Bressi?
