A security company employee and a drug-sniffing dog check maquiladora tractor-trailers on the Mexican side of the border. Tourists and regular border commuters have approached the company to check their vehicles for possible drugs before they enter the U.S. Motorists don’t want to undergo the ordeal of Ana Isela Martínez of Juárez, a teacher at an El Paso private school who spent a month and a half in prison after drug smugglers planted two bags of marijuana in her car.
In January, El Paso resident Dr. Justus Opot and co-worker Marisol Perez were also detained in Juárez after drugs that didn’t belong to them were found in Perez’s vehicle. All have been released from custody.
Why would anyone want to go to Mexico?

That’s the US-Mexico border; here’s the rest of the US perimeter excluding the US-Canada border (doubtless something has been cooked up for it as well).
So much for the tourism industry in NC.
