Plan B is: Can you post the approximate location? Is there a town nearby or a milemarker for the checkpoint? If the satellite imagery on Google Earth or commercial imagery web sites are current, I might be able to find it and do some "Imagery Analyst" work (wow -- what a nostalgia trip! Maybe I'll have to use a light table!)

I won't be going through it any time soon. I think it might be a backscatter machine. Something like this:

All cars were forced to drive though it though. I called the El Paso sector of the Border Patrol and asked them what it was and they told me they couldn't say. I am now experiencing a run around with CPB with no one wanting to answer my questions.
