koine2002,

This is the easiest path, no doubt.

I just think it's insulting to be asked such intrusive questions.

As to it's reason being to stop/slow down drug traffic, pfffffft, as if....

BP ought to be working at preventing illegal alien intrusion, not pestering U.S. citizens with lame, bothersome, time consuming unreasonable, non-productive questions.

"I have had them also ask me my destination, and whether anyone else was in the car with me."

These kind of questions annoy the heck out of me.

I'm an American citizen and as long as I'm not breaking any laws, it's none of their business who my passenger may be and where I'm going.

Were I asked and felt motivated, I might just be one of those guys who refuse to answer such "none of their business" questions and face the consequences. Of course, there should be no consequences, but given some of these BP guys have their own insupportable attitudes towards demeaning American citizens, there probably would be...

This kind of thing is a pet peeve.

If I'm not breaking any laws, (and they're not chasing some recent law breaker, just pestering me and others....) LE has no business interrogating me.

What's the point of these checkpoints?

Surely, it isn't to stop further illegal alien incursions, is it?

If so, it's failing miserably.
