20 or 30 times and never been searched? You need to go get a powerball loto ticket. With your luck you only need one. Then you can buy a large portion on northern Mexico. Everytime that I've driven across the border in Texas I've have always been searched. Sometimes they just look under the hood and in the truck. Sometimes they take everything out of the truck, and I mean everything! They have standing orders to check every car w/ out of state tags. I'm very clean cut and do not look like a thug or a hood. I don't look like a drug addict. I don't fit any of the profiles that cops usually look for when stopping people. Since I spent 7 years in the military picking up deserters and working as a body guard, I look more like a cop. Most of the guys at the local gun shops and ranges think I'm a Fed. So, if they check me, they'll check anybody. In Laredo, if your white and not from that area, they will search ypour car. Been there, done that.
