I haven't crossed the border in twenty years but I'm probably in this or a related database.

I'm a long distance trucker. A few weeks ago I was traveling north from Laredo. When i drove through the border patrol checkpoint, a bank of five or six cameras to my right flashed, i assumed getting my face, license plate, and likelihood of committing a crime in the near future.

The truck is registered to my employer, but I'm sure that can lead to me with a WHERE clause.

At the least they would know where they've seen this face in this truck. I wonder if being in a different truck would be suspicious. I guess it would be if they needed it to be.
