Border Security in my neck of the woods.

See where the marker is?  that is the CBP station in Kingsville.  Go down the highway to Sarita.  That is where the CBP has a checkpoint.  And something was recently seized at Sarita.

"FALFURRIAS - Border Patrol agents working the Sarita checkpoint seized more than 3,500 pounds of marijuana during inspections of two tractor trailers on Wednesday.
Both trucks were headed north on Highway 77 when agents pulled them aside at the checkpoint for a secondary inspection."


This is less than 80 miles from my house.  What ELSE is getting through our border, that ISN'T getting found?  And what IS getting found that we aren't being told about.

When I play around with one of my improvised antennas and one of my scanners when I point them south I can on occasion hear on .FED and .MIL frequencies requests for translators, once I heard a request for HAZ-MAT, but never saw anything on the news about an accident needing Haz-Mat.  Note the .FED channels are usually encrypted, occasionally the .MIL channels will be. 

Now riddle me this.  This is Texas, all of the CBP personnel are Bi-Lingual, it's a requirement of their job.  They need to speak english and spanish.  Why would they ask for a translator?

Remember when the Russian Akula was in the Gulf?  And I saw a LOT of aircraft with MAD gear?  That post is HERE.  What AREN'T we being told?

Remember I posted about listening to my scanner a lot?

This story is one of the reasons why:

"AREA 3 (Kiii News) - Border Patrol agents said drug dealers are coming up with some pretty interesting ways to smuggle drugs into our country.

In fact, agents are seeing larger and more frequent dope seizures."


I originally started listening to my scanner after finding out about Narco Subs, Here Are More stories about Narco subs, note there are 3 links there. I had heard that the crew of one Narco sub was captured down by Brownsville, and another up by Houston. Since I live about 40 miles north of Corpus Christi, and less than 150 yards from a bay that leads right out into the Gulf of Mexico, there exists a possibility, small though it is, but a possibility that one of those Narco subs could conceivably pull in near my house. My Family could be endangered. Hence I listen to the scanner. The Local authorities, the State frequencies, Federal frequencies, Coast Guard and Navy frequencies. I notice however that there is very little if any reports about these Narco subs on my local news stations. Nothing on Fox, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, ABC, CBS. Nothing...

So since I KNOW that the drug cartels won't stop, and I KNOW the media either isn't being told by the Government, or doesn't think it's important enough to report on. I listen to my scanner and short wave receiver. That is how I heard a LOT of encrypted traffic on Navy and Coast Guard frequencies, and how every once in a while I hear traffic in the clear which is very confusing.

I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions.
