Re: Friday afternoon Google Maps investigation

Since 911 there is a massive amount of survellance gear - at least near cities.

There have been a string of stories of people arrested for fetching a ball or getting a takeaway pizza - the border runs through some towns and farms.

It also got ridiculous with some US properties only accessible by road from the Canadian side - and the US banning border crossings except at official spots. US school busses were being sent across the border with sealed doors and INS agents on board to make sure that Canadian terrorists didn't sneak onboard

Ironically there is very little border marking or protection in remote areas - there is not much point in detecting someone crossing if it takes the agents 6hours to drive there to catch them
